A donkey and The Lamb

Today we finished Romans 6.

We understand that just like the Hebrews were freed from Egypt to serve their God in a new land, we too are to serve in Newness of Life. The death and resurrection of Christ frees us to serve God.

Exodus 13 describes an act whereby a donkey is redeemed by a lamb (Ex 13:11-16). This donkey represents the stubborn tyrant dictator Pharoh that held the Hebrews bondage. It was the power of God and a passover lamb that freed them from their Egypt. This is what they were tell their children. GOD FREED US FROM A TYRANT STUBBORN DICTATOR WITH A PASSOVER LAMB

Matthew 21 Jesus requests a donkey to ride into Jerusalem. Jesus rides this donkey victoriously to Jerusalem.

I think Jesus is saying to us that the stubborn tyrant dictator called sin and death, represented by THIS donkey has been overcome by the power of God. And that Jesus OUR Passover Lamb will free us from our Egypt. Gird your loins..... we are leaving Egypt !!!!
