Lamb Selection Day

Today is 'Palm Sunday,' some refer to today as the Triumphal Entry, but actually today is "Lamb Selection Day."

In Exodus 12, God gives Moses instructions for the people..."This month is to be for you the first month, the first month of your year. Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb for his family, one for each household....The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect, and you may take them from the sheep or the goats. Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the people of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight. Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the houses where they eat the lambs...Eat it in haste; it is the LORD's Passover..." (Exodus 12:1-11 selected portions)

As Jesus entered Jerusalem on this day, it was the time that the people were selecting the lamb that would serve as their sacrifice for the coming Friday. I find it amazing that on "Lamb Selection Day" God brought His perfect, spotless Lamb before all of Jerusalem and in essence said, "Here is the Lamb that I have selected for you."

Is He the Lamb that you have selected?
