The Passover​—Its Significance for Christians

In order for the Israelites to avoid being harmed by the tenth plague, it was vital for them to obey instructions. (Ex 12:28) On the night of Nisan 14, families were to assemble in their own home. They were to kill a sound one-year-old male lamb or goat. Its blood was to be sprinkled on the doorposts and on the upper part of the doorway. Then they were to roast the entire animal and eat it in a hurry. No one was to go out of the house until morning.​—Ex 12:9-11, 22.
What are some specific ways that obedience protects us today?

Moses and Aaron Demonstrate Great Courage

Moses and Aaron demonstrated great courage and boldness when speaking to Pharaoh, the most powerful man in the world at that time. What enabled them to do it? Regarding Moses, the Bible says: “By faith he left Egypt, but not fearing the anger of the king, for he continued steadfast as seeing the One who is invisible.” (Heb 11:27) Moses and Aaron had strong faith in Jehovah and relied on him.

Proud Pharaoh Unwittingly Serves God’s Purpose

Egyptian pharaohs viewed themselves as gods. This helps us understand why Pharaoh was too proud to listen to Moses and Aaron and even to his own magic-practicing priests.
Do you listen when others make suggestions? Do you appreciate it when someone counsels you? Or do you feel that you are always right? “Pride is before a crash.” (Pr 16:18) How important it is to guard against pride!

“Now You Will See What I Will Do to Pharaoh”

Before bringing the plagues on Egypt and delivering the Israelites from slavery, Jehovah told the Israelites what he was about to do. They would see Jehovah’s power demonstrated in ways that they had not previously witnessed, and the Egyptians would certainly know who Jehovah is. When God’s promises came true, the faith of the Israelites was strengthened, and this helped to counteract the false religious influences they had been exposed to in Egypt.

“I Will Be With You as You Speak”

With Jehovah’s help, Moses overcame his fears. What can we learn from Jehovah’s interaction with Moses?
  • We should avoid focusing on our own inadequacies
  • We can be confident that Jehovah will give us whatever we need to fulfill our assignments
  • Faith in God is the antidote to fear of man

“I Will Become What I Choose to Become”

Jehovah revealed to Moses a thrilling aspect of His own nature. Within the bounds of his perfect standards, Jehovah becomes whatever is needed in each circumstance to accomplish his will. Much like a human parent, Jehovah fills whatever roles are necessary to care for his children.
What roles has Jehovah filled in my life?

Older Ones Have Much to Share

Older ones strengthen our faith in Jehovah and his promises when they tell us firsthand accounts of the “wonderful works” that Jehovah has performed during these last days. (Ps 71:17, 18) If you are blessed with older ones in your congregation, ask them about
  • how Jehovah helped them to overcome obstacles in serving him
  • the increase that they have seen in the number of Kingdom proclaimers
  • their joy at receiving clarifications in our understanding of Bible truth
  • the refinements that they have observed in Jehovah’s organization
