– Wine: represents the blood that was on the door to protect and that today is barred in the heart;

– Bread: represents the body of Jesus, which gives strength for the journey;

2. MEANING OF THE LAMB

Lamb – symbolizes our substitute;

Jesus – is the Lamb of God

3. LEAVING EGYPT TODAY

For a believer:

– to succeed in this world;

– to reach their destiny;

– to reach the Promised Land;

You have to leave Egypt.

Leaving Egypt isn’t about physically leaving the city where we live; it’s about leaving the lifestyle we live, leaving the circle of friends we associate with who offend God.

Removing Egypt from the heart means:

– not being attached to earthly things;

– valuing the new family;

– speaking in God’s way;

– beginning to act in God’s way;

– not to think that God comes to bring peace, but a sword – Matthew 10:34-36
– not to love family and other things above God – Matthew 10:37-39;

– Take up your cross and deny yourself – Luke 9:26

– Let go of constraint – Luke 9:59-61
