In the tenth plague that God brought against Egypt, death came to all of the first born.  It did not discriminate based on race.  The Israelites were only protected by the blood of the lamb.  The natuse of our sin is such that we deserve death.  God's nature is holy (he can not tolerate sin) and just (he must punish sin) but his plan, due to his love for us, was to sacrifice his first-born son.  The Lamb of God shed his blood so that the death angel would pass over us and we would not have to pay the price.  Don't miss the opportunity to benefit from God loving plan of protection and forgiveness for us.
