 Good morning and Shalom everyone, praise the Lord, JMSC, welcome to class. We are chapter 8, the Virginial Conception, and we began looking at this studying lesson last, I mean on Tuesday. So the first thing we said was, why should we say, why can we use the term Virginial Conception more than Virgin Birth, which is more better to use, Virginial Conception or Virgin Birth, which one is better to use? Virginial Conception, why? The process of incarnation or the birth of Jesus was through the power of the Holy Spirit and happened in the conception, not just at birth. So it is preferable to use the phrase of the term Virginial Conception. So the Virginial Conception of Christ can be understood from the fact that it was the miraculous power of the Holy Spirit that brought it about. Before we move on, there was a question from Andrew, since you are in class, and his question was, if God considers man, the conception of sin was from man to man. We all are sinful because we are conceived in sin because our great, great, great, great grandfather was Adam, and he Adam and he sinned and we are born in, hence we are all conceived or born in sin. So his question is, when we are all conceived in sin, why did God bless Adam to be multiplied? If you are all born in sin, then why did God say, why did he bless Adam and he said, be blessed and be multiplied? Any answers? That was the original will of God to showcase that he had a heart to see that his children prosper and multiply. Okay, it was the will of God to see his children prosper and multiply. When I looked at this question, my first thought was, when did God bless Adam and Eve to be multiplied? Andrew, when did God bless Adam and Eve to be multiplied, to fill the face of the earth? Before sin, before Adam and Eve fell in sin, it was their blessing. Okay, they had the blessing of work, okay, and they had the power to subdue and also to the blessing of multiplication, okay, to produce of the same kind. But when they were cursed, did God bless them with that blessing? No, it was just before the fall. But since God had already blessed them, it doesn't take away that blessing. But we are all born in sin and that is why God had to bring about salvation, right? That is why God had to bring about salvation so that he can reconcile us back to God. Okay, so did that help Andrew? Did that help answer your question? Thank you, Lucy. Okay, and Sanjay had posted a video. I had also gone through that video after class. And I wrote back to Sanjay anyways. So I just request, you know, if you have any videos, anything that you like to post regarding what we are learning, it's good to do that. You know, before class, run it past the teacher and if the teacher says, okay, we can post it on the stream page, but not during class time, a lecture course would be a little disturbing. And also check with the teacher if it's an appropriate video to show. So the video that he posted, I don't know if any of you watched it, but then he was talking about how the blood of Jesus had only the chromosomes of the mother. It had only one set of chromosomes, not the father, but just the mother. But then I posed a question to Sanjay, asking him, where did this person get the blood of Jesus? Because there was no body in the tomb. Was the body of Jesus there? Was the body of Jesus buried? There was no body. Where did he get the blood from? Okay, so we're not going to it now, but, you know, anyway, he wrote back saying that it's not a... There's quite some discrepancies, so we'll not get into it, but it's a good video to look at and think about it, but I don't want to dwell on it. Okay, some archaeological evidences and all that, but it's not right. We just go with what the Bible says and of course people are trying to prove their faith and their understanding of God. Okay, so we'll move on. We looked at also the doctrinal importance of the virgin birth. We saw that at least in two areas. What is the importance of the virginal conception of Jesus? Two areas is it shows that salvation ultimately must come from God Himself. Salvation is not the work of man. It cannot be brought about by man's own work of power, but salvation is through the power of God alone and not through human effort. Salvation can never come through human effort, but only is the work of God Himself. So that is one of the doctrinal importance of the virginal conception and the virgin birth of Jesus. The second thing is that it was the virginal conception of the virgin birth made it possible for humanity and divinity or humanity and deity to coexist in perfect unity in the person of Jesus Christ. Okay, so we can even think of various permutations and combinations or possibilities how God could have done this without a virgin giving birth to the virginal conception and a virgin giving birth to Jesus. We can think of other means, but if you look at various other possibilities, for example, one possibility could be what if God created Jesus completely as a human being in heaven and just send him down to earth without any human parents. Now, if we had somebody like that, then what would be our understanding of God? Or what do you think would be hard for us to see Jesus as? If God created Jesus as a complete human being and just send him from heaven, down to earth without any human parents, then how would our understanding of Jesus be? What would our understanding of Jesus be? How would it be hard for us to comprehend Jesus? It would be more an easier note that he didn't live like a human, so it was easy as a God. He stayed as God, he dwelt as God and he left, ascended back as God, so that would be the instinct. Okay, maybe you were saying that it would be hard to see how he was human like us in every way? No, you would have felt it was easy for him, he came as God directly. It was easy for him, but I'm talking about from our perspective. Yes, our perspective, we would have felt it was easy because it was just God. Rather now what's actually happened, he came and stayed with us. He came as a virgin, lived in the flesh, so he's endured whatever we endured, he's endured. So now we can resonate much better. You can resonate much better, understand him much better, yes, rather than him just coming down as a human being. Lucy says, only divinity could be considered, yes. We can understand only his divine form or his divine role, but we cannot understand how he can be human in the fullest sense. Sanjay says, he wouldn't be fully man, he would be more like an alien from another planet of existence. Yes, for us, he would be like alien, just exactly like you said. Yes, alien because we can't understand or comprehend how he can be or how he can understand our friendlies and our human weaknesses. So if what is the second probability, if on the other hand, what if God could have Jesus come into this world with both a father and a mother and somewhere after he was born, miraculously he would have just put his divine nature in his human nature. What would be our understanding of Jesus then? I'll repeat it, what if Jesus was born into this world with both father and mother and after his birth somewhere in the miraculous way God just put his divine nature, or his divine nature miraculously into Jesus' human nature, how would it be for us to think about God or Jesus? Through mankind, he would become a sinner, he would never be sinless. Yes, we can never see him as sinless because he was conceived in sin because he was born to both parents. He was just conceived just like us, so he would be no different from any one of us. So it would be hard for us to understand how Jesus was fully born when his origin was just like us, just like us in every way, just like we are born in sin. So we see that God in his wisdom, ordained or thought of this perfect way or a perfect combination of how humanity and divinity can coexist, can influence the birth of Jesus, can be evident to us from the fact how he was fully human, how he was fully divine from his conception, through his birth, through his life here on the earth. And so God in his divine wisdom ordained it to be, for Jesus to be conceived in the womb of a virgin through the power of the Holy Spirit. And it was the work of the Holy Spirit and so by this there was a perfect unity of humanity and divinity that co-existed in the person of Jesus Christ. That is why we read in that verse in Luke chapter 1, verse 35, you know, an angel answered and said to her, the Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the highest will overshadow you, therefore also that the Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. So it was through the power of the Holy Spirit that Jesus was conceived in the womb of Mary and he was born. So there was the perfect co-existence of humanity and divinity that existed in the person of Jesus Christ. And also virginal conception made it possible for Christ through humanity to come into existence without inheriting sin. So Jesus did not have a human father that line of descent from Adam was partially interrupted. Jesus did not descend from Adam exactly in the same way in which other human beings descended from Adam, just like all of us descended from Adam. For Jesus that descent from Adam was partially interrupted because we know that the Holy Spirit came upon Mary and the child that was born was holy. So it was because the Spirit brought about this conception in the womb of Mary that the child was to be called holy. So we must never take this to be that the transmission of sin is only from the father, not from the mother. So people can question and ask if Jesus was not born to the union of a father and mother and the partial line of descent was broken of Adam through the father. It does not mean that we inherit sin only from our father's lineage or from the generation of our fathers. So you can say that what was Mary sinless? You can ask that question, right? Was Mary sinless? If Jesus had to be sinless, he was not born in sin, but he was conceived in Mary's womb and so was Mary sinless? Nepu says no, Poffee says no. Yes, from Adam he did not inherit sin, so he was sinless. So did Jesus not inherit sinful nature from Mary? The Roman Catholic Church says that Mary was free from sin, but the scripture tells us that. She says was blessed, Sanjay says she was pious, but born in sin like all of us. Scripture no way or no where attributes that Mary was sinless. So nowhere that scripture teaches this. But even then does not solve the problem anyway. But for us to just know what scripture says is that it's the work of the Holy Spirit. So through the work of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit must have prevented, not only the transmission of sin from Joseph, but because Jesus had no human father, but also the Holy Spirit would in a miraculous way also would have prevented the transmission of sin from Mary. Because it says in chapter 1 of Luke was 35, the Holy Spirit will come upon you. Therefore the child who is to be born is to be called or will be called Holy. So these are some of the questions that can come up and as students of Christology, as students of theology, you will have to answer these questions. So that is why I'm mentioning it for us. So for those of them who do not accept the complete truth of scripture, they are people who deny or do not believe in virginal conception or the virgin birth of Jesus Christ. But if you believe and your faith is based on what scripture says, then you will certainly not deny this doctrine or you will certainly not deny this teaching. So whether or not we can discern or understand how all of this took about, the doctrinal importance for this teaching is that we should just believe it simply because of what scripture tells us. We can't prove it scientifically, we can't talk, debate about it. We just believe it first of all simply because scripture states this, scripture affirms this. And this is a miracle or the supernatural working of God and nothing is impossible with God. Because just like God did many other miracles in the Bible, it's nothing that is impossible with him. So the virgin birth of virginal conception was not an impossibility for God. And the other thing is we need to understand that in the biblical teaching of the person and work of Jesus Christ, correctly it's important that we begin by believing his virginal conception and his virgin birth. So if you want to understand the person and work of Jesus Christ, then it's important for us to affirm this doctrine of virginal conception or the virgin birth. So sometimes we just believe it by faith. We just go with what the word of God says because God has spoken, God has said, God has planned it this way and nothing is impossible with God. Because even Mary says, how is this possible and what does God say? God nothing is impossible. Even when the person comes to Jesus and says, then who then can be saved? God says with man this is impossible but with God all things are possible. So Luke chapter 1 verse 37 says, with God nothing will be impossible. Yes, it seems as an impossibility but with God nothing is impossible. So we just believe the virginal conception and the virgin birth by faith because of what God has planned, God has ordained and what he has said. So any questions? Andrew says, ma'am, how did Jesus become the lineage of David without any blood connection or Joseph not marriage? So how did he come in because not through the blood connection but his father was Joseph. So through that we just, again, we can't think or we can't explain but his father was Joseph and so he was maybe like an adoption and also into the family or the lineage of David. Yes, good question. Any other questions? Anyone else has? Mary was in the lineage of David. Yes, I was even thinking of the same thing. I don't know. We need to look at Matthew chapter 1. Yes, actually if you look at the tradition was that Mary was believed to be in the lineage of David. Yes, according to the Christian tradition. But if you look at the New Testament, both Gospel of Matthew and Gospel of Luke, provide genealogies of Jesus that connects to the line of the lineage of David. But you need to see whether it's from Joseph or from Mary. Joseph, right. But Christian tradition says Mary, the mother of Jesus is believed to be of the lineage of David. Sorry. Can you use the mic please? Matthew 116 overrides that. It says, and Jacob we got Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus. Who is called Christ? Yes. So Mary who was, Joseph who was the husband of Mary. Sister? Yes, Kofi. I think Mary Elizabeth who happens to be a Levite is a relative of Mary. Yes. So there is also the likelihood that Mary is a Levite and not from Judah. I'm not sorry. And not a descendant of Judah. Okay. That of David. So you're saying that she was a Levite? Yes. Yes. So yeah. That is if she is related to Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist. Yes. So Lucy had mentioned that. Lucy had put in a post. Yes. But Elizabeth is in the Gospel of Luke is, you know, is called or referred to as being the daughter of Aaron, which is belonging Aaron was the priest belonging to the priestly lineage of Aaron. So rather than the, yes, the royal lineage of David, you're right. Yes. So Elizabeth's lineage is not traced back to David in the Bible. You're right. But Christian tradition says that, you know, the tradition, not saying the Bible says, but the Christian tradition says that Mary is of the lineage of David, you know, but we don't have as the Bible does not explicitly state that Mary is of the lineage of David, only the Christian tradition, you know, that is long being held based on the genealogies provided in the Gospels that, you know, the significance of Jesus being descended from David as prophesied in the Old Testament. But Joseph was from the lineage of David. Yes. And Elizabeth is, you know, it's not a lineage is not traced back to David, like Kofi said, but to the priestly lineage of Aaron, because she's called as one of the daughters of Aaron in Luke chapter one verse five. Yeah. Thank you, Kofi. Okay. Good thoughts, good thinking. Anyone else? Any other questions you'll have on this lesson or we move on to the next chapter. So yes, we can just, you know, say that even though Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and was born of the Virgin Mary. Okay. But when you look at the genealogies of Jesus in Matthew, it traces back the lineage of Joseph, okay, who was a descendant of David. So although Joseph was not the biological father, okay, but, you know, was anyway considered, like I said, legally adopted son. So Jesus was, you know, we can say in that way the legal right to the lineage of David. Okay. Okay. We'll continue. So any other questions anyone else has? So we move on to the nine chapter. Very interesting chapter. Any questions? Okay. The nine chapter we are looking at the sinless lamb. Okay. Who is a sinless lamb? Jesus. Okay. So we're looking at now the work of Jesus Christ. Okay. Jesus is referred to as a lamb over 30 times in the New Testament. Okay. 30 times in New Testament. So in this chapter, we're just basically going to look at his title and role of Christ as this title that is given to him as the sinless lamb and his role as the sinless lamb. We look at it both from the old and the New Testament. We look at how it is in the Old Testament and how Jesus fulfilled it in his, in his role and his work in the New Testament. Okay. So John chapter one was 29. Can somebody read that please? John chapter one was 29. John chapter one was 29. The next day, John saw Jesus coming towards him and said, Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Amen. So here we see that John the Baptist sees Jesus coming towards him and says, Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Now why do you think John the Baptist is saying this? Why doesn't, why doesn't he say, Hey, look everyone, that's the Messiah. All of you are looking for the Messiah. Here's the Messiah. Why does he say, Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world? The prophecy to be fulfilled. Okay. Why else? So they could connect, you know, the Jewish people were always having lamb as a sacrifice in the Old Testament. Okay. So they could understand that this lamb is the actual sacrifice for all the remission of sins. Yes. Thank you. He didn't say, Hey, look the Messiah, because what was the Jews looking for? What kind of Messiahs they were looking for? Yes, they were looking for a political Messiah. A king would come and free them from their enemies and, you know, give them the freedom they need and, you know, be the king and rule over them. Okay. So here is John the Baptist is saying, Behold the Lamb of God. For the Jews, they were very familiar with this term lamb. A day in and day out, they were, you know, sacrifices were just being made. And lamb was so much part of their rituals. Okay. And we look at it in our study today. Okay. So John is saying, Hey, the Messiah is actually the lamb of God who's come to take away the sins of the world. And the Messiah was come is not the king is, is the one who's going to be the lamb who's going to make the sacrifice. Okay. So, and another beautiful thing to note here is says, Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. It does not just say, Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the nation of Israel, or the sins of believers or Christians. It says it takes away the sins of the world. So Jesus came to be that sinless lamb to make that full sufficient sacrifice for the whole world. Okay. So we look at how and we study how Christ asked the sinless lamb and became that lamb that, you know, was used in the Old Testament for making sacrifices. And how this Old Testament sacrifices, you know, of sacrificing the lamb basically very clearly and specifically, you know, pointed out at somebody who will come way into the future that is Jesus Christ. So remember, I told you all of the ceremonies, all of the rituals, all of the sacrifices that God had instituted in the, or, you know, set up in the Old Testament was all pointing out to the person and the work of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. Isn't that beautiful? You know, it was not just a ritual that he wanted people to do. That is why Paul also says that God, that when Jesus came, he redeemed us from the curse of the law. He redeemed us from these vain rituals and traditions because Jesus did not come or God did not put us into rituals and traditions. But he came, he used all of that to point out to the person and the work of Jesus Christ. Okay. So we're going to look at how the Old Testament sacrifices spoke clearly and specifically about the various aspects of Jesus Christ as the lamb of God. So the first one we will look at as the paschal lamb or the Passover lamb. Okay. Exodus chapter 12 verses 1 to 14. So can somebody read Exodus chapter 12 verses 1 to 14 for us please. Exodus. You can read the sister. Yes, go ahead sister, get through it. Now Exodus 12, 1 to 14. Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying, This month shall be your beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year to you. Speak to all the congregation of Israel saying, On the 10th of this month, every man shall take for himself a lamb according to the house of his father a lamb for a household. And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house, take it according to the number of the persons according to each man's need. You shall make your account for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish. A male of the first year, you may take it from the sheep or from the goats. Now you shall keep it until the 14th day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight. And they shall take it on the two-dope course and on the linter of the houses where they eat it. Then they shall eat the flesh on that night roasted in fire with unleavened bread and with bitter herb. They shall eat it. Do not eat it raw. Now boil that all with water, but roasted in fire. Its head with its legs and its head with its legs. You shall let none of this remain until morning. And what remains of it until morning you shall burn with fire. And thus you shall eat it with the belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. So you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord's Passover. For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night and will strike all the first born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast and against all the gods of Egypt. I will execute judgment. I am the Lord. Now the blood shall be assigned for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you. And the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. So this day shall be to you a memorial. And you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generation. You shall keep it as a feast by the everlasting ordinance. Amen. Thank you, Siket Rood. So here in this passage, God was preparing to deliver his people from where? From slavery in Egypt and lead them to the promised land, which is Canaan, which he promised to give them. And God at this time is instituting the feast of the Passover. And he says that this feast of this Passover has to be... How long should they keep this feast of the Passover? How long? Look at verse 14. How long should they keep the feast of the Passover? Or how many times to celebrate it? Sorry? Through all the presentations? Yes, as an everlasting... An everlasting ordinance. So saying here that... Note these words. Verse 14. So this day shall be to you a memorial. Memorial means what? Something that you remember, celebrate. You shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generation. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance. What is the meaning of everlasting? everlasting means there's no end. Then why aren't we celebrating the Passover feast? Says here, God saying you shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance. Why aren't we celebrating the Passover? You need to use the mic please. Because Jesus is a lamp of... Because Jesus is our Passover lamp. Why don't we celebrate the Passover? Have you ever thought of it? It says here you have to celebrate it as an everlasting ordinance. Why? Why don't we celebrate? Christ was already sacrificed for us. Yes, Christ already became that Passover lamp. He made that full sufficient, perfect sacrifice. We no longer have to celebrate it. But do we celebrate it in one sense? What He has done? Do we celebrate what He has done on the cross in one sense? Yes, Sister. We celebrate it through Holy Communion? Yes, the Lord's table, the Lord's supper. Thank you, the Holy Communion. We keep doing that. We celebrate what Jesus has done for us. How do we know that Jesus is the Passover lamp? Because Paul spoke about it. He points out to Jesus' redemptive work. And he spoke as Jesus asked the Passover lamp in the New Testament. 1 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 7. Can somebody read that please? 1 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 7. Therefore purge out the old living that you may be a new lump since you truly are unleavened for indeed Christ, a Passover, was sacrificed for us. So Paul is through the power of the Holy Spirit and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. He is telling us that Christ is our Passover and Christ was sacrificed for us. Now the first part of the verse says therefore purge out the old living that you may be a new lump since you are truly unleavened. What does it mean? What does it mean? Does it mean this living? Purge out the old living so that you can be a new lump that is truly unleavened. It means old traditions. What else? What does living mean? Bread. Actually living is yeast. Yeast that is used for bread or bun that makes it nice and spongy and fluffy and soft. So in the Old Testament how did people get leaving? How did they use that as yeast for the new leaving? Any idea? They actually used to use a pinch or a little of the dough. They used the old one. They kept a small piece and they kept on using like that continuation. How do you make yogurt? Yes. How you make yogurt, how you make curd. You use little of the old curd and you put it in the new milk and then it's curdless. So they used a pinch or a little of the old dough that was there of the previous batch and they used it to make the new batch, the new dough in the new batch or the new bread a little sour as yeast. So this is how bread was commonly made in the ancient world. So a little of the old dough when you put it in the new one the new dough or the new bread will rise up and puff up. That is the way the leaving used to work. So here a leaving basically illustrates the work of sin or lust or pride. So how does sin, pride and lust work? It's just like this leaving. So just a presence of a little sin in your life, in your mind, in your body can corrupt the entire being. Just a little sin. So just like a little leaving can make the new batch of dough fluffy and the dough to rise up just in the same way little sin presence of little sin can corrupt the entire person. So here Paul is writing and saying purge out the old leaving. So we see that at the Passover what does God tell them all leaving should be removed from the house. Don't have any old stuff in your house. Remove everything. Nothing with leaving that was there had to be eaten that whole week. So Paul is basically why is he using this illustration of leaving and connecting it with Jesus as a Passover lamb because God had told him remove every leaving from your midst for one week you should not eat food with leaving. So Paul is saying just like that just as the Jews were so concerned to remove all leaving from their midst when they celebrate the Passover festival. So also he is telling the believers the church that they should remove everybody who is unrepentant sinners those who are going back to their old ways those who are living in old sinful ways they need to remove them from their midst. So that is what he is talking about here. And then he is talking about the Old Testament Peace of the Passover which is pointing out to Jesus as the Passover lamb. So the Old Testament Peace of the Passover was basically a type and shadow of the redemptive work of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. Have you heard these words type and shadow? Have you heard some things in the Old Testament are a type and shadow of the New Covenant. Old Covenants type and shadow New Covenant or the rituals in the Old Testament or the Covenants that were made in the Old Testament. This is the type and shadow of the redemptive work of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. Have you heard this word type and shadow before? Yes, no. Okay, what is the meaning of type? Sorry. Similar. It just basically means an example or it means a pattern a model. So it describes a model or a pattern in the Old Testament that is basically fulfilled in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. So things are in the Old Testament which is an example, a type of pattern, a model in the Old Testament is basically fulfilled in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. So basically type means model, pattern a print or a manner, a figure a fashion that was something that was done in the Old Testament but that is seen in the New Testament in the person and work of Jesus Christ. So that is the meaning of type. So what do we mean type and shadow? What is shadow? Shadow is a reflection yes. Shadow by itself has no substance. Yes or no? Shadow by itself has no substance. Yes or no? Yes. But it's caused by something that is more substantial. I am someone who substantial. When I stand in the sun you can see my shadow which has no substance. So it's basically when you talk about the shadow Jesus type and shadow of the Old Testament which was basically saying that in the physical form of something that is a heavenly reality the physical form or the physical being of something that is a heavenly reality. So basically all of the Jewish rituals and sacrifices or the ceremonies that were done in the Old Testament were a shadow cast by heavenly realities which were seen in the life and work and the kingdom of God that Jesus came to establish. So everything that we see of what Jesus did, his life his ministry, the kingdom of God that he came to establish was a reality. Yes or no? People could touch feel in a very tangible way experience all of the person and the work of Jesus Christ and the kingdom of God that he came to establish here on earth was a reality but in the Old Testament all this was a type and shadow of this reality that we see that we experience that we can understand which is more tangible and made more alive to us in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Are you able to understand what you are just? So type and shadow don't have to worry just basically things that happen in the Old Testament just like an example a model, a pattern that was seen fulfilled in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. That's why I said all of the ceremonies, all of the rituals, all of the traditions all of the sacrifices that were made in the Old Testament was seen fulfilled in the person and work of Jesus Christ. So everything ultimately pointed out to something that was far more greater than what was done in the Old Testament and that was pointing out to Jesus Christ. Sanjay says the bronze servant which Moses made in the wilderness was a type and shadow of the future crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Yes, it's a type and shadow of what Jesus would come and do. So everybody will look at the cross saved just like in the time of Moses when they were bit by the venomous snakes. You know, God told Moses make this bronze serpent put it on the pole. Everyone who looks at it will be saved. So that was a type and shadow of what Jesus would fulfill on the cross. In the same way the Old Testament passed over. So type and shadow or as a figure of Christ was a true Passover lamb. Passover celebration that they had the Passover lamb was pointing out was a type and shadow was pointing out at someone far greater that was Jesus Christ who would become that Passover lamb. So the Old Testament Passover feast was pointing out to the true lamb of God who he would be, what he would be like and what he would accomplish. Now there are some important characteristics of the Passover lamb that we clearly see in Jesus Christ. So what is the characteristic of the Passover lamb? What did God say what kind of lamb they had to choose? A lamb that was unblemished. That means a lamb that was without any spot sickness and the same way we see that Jesus became that perfect complete spotless whole lamb and we read this in 1 Peter chapter 1 was 19 which tells us that Christ was that lamb without blemish and without spot. We'll stop here. Anyone has any questions? Any questions? You all are able to understand able to understand online students? You are able to understand? Yes, thank you. Any questions anyone has? Thank you everyone. Okay. If there are no questions we'll end class here. Have a blessed weekend everyone and I'll see you on Tuesday. Thank you. Sorry. Oh sorry, Friday. Oh sorry, it's Tuesday. Thank you Andrew.
