Do Not Eat Of The Lamb Raw

Our Lord Jesus was the Lamb of God, the Lamb that took away the sins of this world as proclaimed by John the Baptist.  In the Old Testament, God instructed Moses and the Israelites not to eat their lamb raw during the Feast of Passover.  In their dispensation, God was using the Feast of the Passover to point them to Jesus’ finished work at the cross. Jesus Himself was the Lamb of God to be burnt at the cross. He was the Burnt Offering...

Incidentally, the word "LAMB" in the Chinese Character is actually showing us the picture of a  lamb being burnt by fire. The strokes that made up the word "LAMB" in the Chinese Character is depicting a young sheep that is being roasted by fire.

The word "LAMB" in Chinese Character

The upper part of this character "LAMB" is a picture of a young “sheep” and the lower part is the picture of “fire”. It indicates a young sheep is being roasted by fire. This combination of a young sheep on top and fire at the bottom is depicting a "LAMB".

This young Sheep was roasted at the cross. This young Sheep was judged at the cross. This young Sheep was the Burnt Offering prepared by the Heavenly Father.

Exodus

12:8 ~ And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs. 

12:9 ~ Do not eat of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire, its head with its legs, and with its inward parts. 

12:10 ~ And you shall not let any of it remain until the morning. And that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.

As a New Covenant believer, do not eat of the Lamb raw… Do not meditate on the Jesus that was before the cross. We are to meditate on the Jesus that is after the cross… after He was being roasted... after He was being burnt... after He was being judged... after His Finished Work.  We are to listen to the word of Christ, because Apostle Paul revealed that our faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of Christ. When we listen to the Word of Christ, we are not eating the Lamb raw, we are eating the well roasted Lamb. We are eating the Lamb Who was being completely judged. We are eating the Burnt Offering well pleasing to God...

Do not eat of the Lamb raw...!
