Exodus 12 is an essential part of the history of Israel. God’s people had been in bondage for over 400 years. Exodus 12 is the culmination of the plagues that God brought upon Egypt to free his people. Every phrase in these verses is packed with meaning and significance. In verse one, God tells them that the event about to happen would mark the beginning of their calendar. That marked the point of redemption. It would change how they would view the timeline of their lives. Drawing the parallel of Jesus being our Passover, we observe the same change in time at the cross, where Jesus’ death marks the man’s deliverance from sin.

Verse eleven describes how they were to eat the Lord’s Passover. There are three main instructions. The first is “with your loins girded” It referred to arranging their garment so that they would be prepared to work or to move. In modern parlance, they were told to roll up their sleeves to be ready to work. God told them to wear their shoes and to have their staff in their hands. This also indicates a readiness to work. God tells them to eat in haste. All of this was in preparation for the great event that God was about to bring. God wanted them to be ready to jump into action.

To be called out has taken on a negative meaning. It can be a challenge to fight, or it can be an embarrassing situation revealed publicly. Jesus often called people out, but not in an embarrassing way. When he spoke to the woman at the well, it was in a private setting. Jesus spoke to parts of her life about which she felt guilt or shame, but not in a negative way. He said these things to her to bring her to the revelation that she needed changes. God does not call us out to embarrass us but to pull us back from death and destruction.

Many said Jesus was too late too for Lazarus. But Lazarus did not need people writing him off; He needed Jesus to call him out from death. Jesus calls us out today. We hear preaching or testimony that seems to speak right to our soul. As He did to Lazarus and the woman at the well, Jesus calls us out to save us.

Paul's writing to Timothy in the sixth chapter addresses wealth and money. Many of us would look at our bank accounts and our possessions and determine that Paul was addressing rich people, so he must not be talking to us. Paul admonishes Timothy to guard against relying on uncertain wealth, but that same advice applies to us. We must not invest our eternity in things that are temporal but must instead place our trust and hope in the One who will never leave nor forsake us. We must be wary of uncertain riches.
