Clay Pots ~ Blood


This is a picture of Bafi putting "blood" on some wood on both sides of the door to his house. We put a shield there, so he could paint it with "blood" as well. Jason had him show everyone at the teaching on Tuesday of what it was like for the Israelites to do what God had said. Only by believing the Word of God spoken to them by Moses, and by doing what God told them to do would the Angel of death pass over their homes and not kill their first born sons. Just like the Tobo people used to hide behind these wooden shields so that their enemies' arrows wouldn't kill them, in like manner, the Israelites hid behind the blood of the lamb on their doorposts and were safe. The angel of death saw the blood, and just like an arrow would reflect off of a shield, so he "reflected off" of the blood and their children were saved.

Soon the Tobo people will be told that there is only one Lamb worthy enough to be sacrificed Whose blood is sufficient to "hide behind". Only through his spilt blood can we gain eternal life and forgiveness of sins.

Please Keep Praying, we are at the HALF WAY mark today!!!!!

As eager as I am for the Tobo to hear about the Lamb of God, I don't want this to end! It has been a sincere privilege to watch these precious people awaken to the truth of God's Word. I praise God I was born in this time and this place, where technology allows us to be a part of this. Even if it's only by watching from afar!

May your work continue to be blessed and unhindered.

Also, have any of the people felt the need to put blood on their doorposts after hearing this? Or did you make it clear this was a one-time deal for the Israelites?
