SERMON THESIS- Today's text is a study in Shadow and Substance- The lambs of the OT Passover are the shadows that point to the Substance found in the Lamb of the NT Passover. Jesus is the true Substance behind the shadows. The thousands of lambs slain in Egypt, point to the Lamb who would be sacrificed upon Calvary. --I. The SELECTION of the Passover Lamb - v.3a-II. The SUBSTITUTION of the Passover Lamb - v.3b-III. The SUPERVISION of the Passover Lamb - v.4-IV. The SUITABILITY of the Passover Lamb - v.5-V. The SEPARATION of the Passover Lamb - v.6a-VI. The SACRIFICE of the Passover Lamb - v.6b-VII. The SUFFICIENCY of the Passover Lamb - vs.7-11d--A. By means of APPLICATION-B. By means of APPROPRIATON-C. By means of ANTICIPATION--NOTE- When the Lamb's blood is truly applied and appropriated, it was not only sufficient, it was efficient. The effectual nature of the lamb's blood in a person and family's life, move them to leave Egypt behind. They are no longer slaves and no longer satisfied living in sin. Salvation has come and new life has begun---VIII. The SUBSTANCE of the Passover Lamb - v.11e--A. Jn. 1-29-B. Jn. 6-53-56-C. 1 Cor. 5-7
