Get Wisdom #27

   Prov.4:7(Amp) says, "The beginning of Wisdom is, Get Wisdom (skillful and Godly Wisdom) (For skillful and Godly Wisdom is the principal thing) And with all you have gotten, get understanding (discernment, comprehension and interpretation)."

  The Apostle Paul prayed in Col.1:9-11(Amp) that the Church "Might be filled with all the full (deep, clear) knowledge of His will in all Spiritual Wisdom (in the comprehensive insight into the ways and the purposes of God) and in understanding and discernment of Spiritual things."

  In Ex.12:23-4(Amp) Moses conveys the Word of the Lord to all the people, "For the Lord will pass through to slay the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood upon the lintel and the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to come into your house to slay you. You shall observe this right for an ordinance to you and your sons forever."

  We don't sacrifice lambs like those under the Law, but we also don't neglect to observe what God said to do "forever." Most think of this as a Jewish custom, which was under the Law. In Matt.5:17(Amp), Jesus told the scribes, "Do not think that I have come to do away with or undo the Law of the Prophets; I have come not to do away with or undo, but to complete and fulfill them." 

  Jesus was fulfilling the Law by Himself becoming the Sacrifice Lamb and our Passover Lamb. He was and is our Lamb forever.  Luke22:1(Amp) tells us, "Now the festival of unleavened bread was drawing nigh, which is called Passover." Jesus was crucified on the feast of unleavened bread, which is called Passover.

 In 1Cor.5:8,7(Amp) Paul said, "Therefore, let us keep the feast, not with old leaven (not with leaven of vice, malice and wickedness), but with the unleavened (bread) of purity (nobility, honor) and sincerity of (unadulterated Truth)." In Verse7 Paul said, "Purge (clean out) the old leaven that you may be fresh (new) dough, still uncontaminated (as you are) (For Christ (our Passover Lamb), has been Sacrificed." 

  We read about why Moses is in the Hall of Faith in Heb.11:28(Amp), which says, "By faith (simple trust and confidence in God) [Moses] instituted and carried out the Passover and the sprinkling of blood (on the door posts) so that the destroyer of the firstborn (the angel) might not touch those (of the children of Israel) (Ex.12:21). Paul says that "Jesus Christ is our Passover Lamb" and that "By simple faith and trust and confidence in God and the Blood of our Passover Lamb, we will be protected from the destroyer," in 1Cor.5:7-8.

  We no longer sacrifice lambs, because Jesus has already fulfilled the Passover forever. We just need to have faith in His Blood for us. We must purse and clean out the old leaven, so we can be fresh (new) dough, still uncontaminated (as you are). For Christ (our Passover Lamb), has been sacrificed," in the above scriptures. Paul writes to the Church in Corinth about taking the bread and cup of communion with unforgiveness, anger and malice in our hearts. Paul tells them in 1Cor.11:30(Amp), "This is why some of you are weak and sickly, and quite enough of you have fallen into the sleep of death." 

  We must put all those things, by faith and confidence, under the Blood of Jesus our Passover Lamb, so the destroyer will have to pass over us. The feast of Passover didn't end, IT IS FULFILLED. Remember, "The life is in the blood, for all your flesh," according to Lev.17:7(Amp).
