Click here to view listing below for Exo 12:33

ONE of the commands of Jehovah to Israel was, that they were not to remove the landmarks of their neighbour (Deut. 19:14, 27:17). Even more significant are the terse and telling terms which we find in Exodus 12, 13, and 14, as indicating the landmarks of God’s grace to His people, and what He expects from them. There are seven terms which we may call the seven landmarks of Christian experience.

  1. The “Take” of Faith. “Take…a lamb.” “Take of the blood” (Ex. 12:3, 7). Faith takes the Pascal Lamb of God’s appointing, and finds in His blood its blessing.
  2. The “Eat” of Satisfaction. “Eat the flesh,” &c. (Ex. 12:8) Christ is the soul’s Food as well as its Salvation (see John 6:53-58).
  3. The “Shall not” of Assurance. “The plague shall not be upon you (Ex. 12:13). When we have God’s “shall not” we are safe (John 5:24; Rom. 6:14).
  4. The “Put away” of Separation. “Put away leaven” (Ex. 12:15). The leaven of wickedness must be entirely separated from the believer (1 Cor. 5:6-8).
  5. The “Sanctity” of Dedication. “Sanctify unto Me” (Ex. 13:2). Separation to God Himself, to all He is, has, and desires, is the essence of consecration.
  6. The “Stand still” of Obedience. “Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord” (Ex. 14:13). To obey the direction of the Lord is our highest service.
  7. The “Go-forward” of Progress. “Go forward” (Ex. 14:15). To advance in the Divine life is the evidence of soul prosperity. Stagnation is a proof of death.
