Bible Question: Is Exodus 12:3 a promise that if one member of the household has accepted Christ as the Lamb of God, the whole household will accept Christ or is already covered? It states "One lamb for a household" thanks......Pixie |
Bible Answer: Exodus 12:3 is talking about the ordinary lamb and not Christ. In the old testament it is the offering if someone broke the law. In thenew testament it is not acceptable the offering of blood of beast such lamb, bird etc. It is Christ the ultimate sacrifice: as the lamb of God: Joh 1:36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! it is not also applicable that if someone receive Christ the all household is forgiven by it could be, we can influence them by our fruit and we could bring them to the Lord that is why in John3:16 is written "whosoever believed" and not onceman believe and his household is ok.
