Raw Lamb?: Passover Series Part 4

The lamb had to meet several qualifications.  It had to be:
1.  Without blemish
2.  A yearling male
3.  A sheep or a goat
4.  There was to be one lamb per household.
5.  They were to keep it in the house from the 10th day of the month to the 14th day, a total of 5 days. {The number of Grace.}
6.  It was to be killed at twilight:  3pm, Hebrew time.
7.  It’s blood was to be sprinkled on the doorposts and the lintel on the OUTSIDE of the house where they would eat the lamb;
8.  Then they had to eat the flesh on that same night, ROASTED IN FIRE, with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

Because it’s a picture of Jesus as the sacrificial Lamb of God and what He went through to redeem all of us.  Yes, He was literally “ROASTED IN FIRE;” the fires of God’s judgment, that is.  That’s why He cried out, “I thirst.”

Eating the Lamb “raw” means it didn’t go through the “roasting” part; in other words, through the fire.  That is what paid for all our sins.  They were also told not to boil the lamb.  Boiling typifies watering down the word of God.

It places Him on the same level as only a “good or a great teacher.”  He is SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT!!!
