Pesach (Passover) Door 2023

This is a modern piece to remind us of the Pesach (Passover) Door. Red represents the blood of the lamb brushed around the lintel. The blood kept the enemy and death out. It was protection. Divine protection.

The door was also the exit for the Hebrew nation, a combination of those of the 12 tribes of Israel and some Egyptians (people of the world) who exited with them. The door was an exit from oppression and slavery. The Door was the Way to a better life following God.

The aqua-blue surrounding the door represents heaven and God.

The glass pieces within represent the changes that God makes as we follow Him.

The House of Bread

born in Bethlehem

the “house of bread”

to become the “Bread of Life”

to all who eat of Him

His body, His flesh

the manna from Heaven

come from above

His body, His flesh

made at His Word

for all things were made through Him

His body, His flesh

that He might tabernacle

among us

for a time

His body, His flesh

the Temple

torn down

and rebuilt in three days

raised from the dead!

Upon This Rock

“Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb;

and you shall strike the rock,

and water will come out of it,

so that the people may drink.”

And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. (Exodus 17:6)

Moses, a type of Lord Jesus

stood upon the rock,

the rock of the desert—Horeb,

a place in the wilderness

Lord Jesus stood upon Golgotha—the place of the skull, (John 19:17)

of the head, the head of death

as Moses was the head of a people led by God

thirsty in the wilderness

so is Lord Jesus the head of a people (Ephesians 1:22)

thirsty for Him in a desert place

as the rock was struck by the rod of authority

the rod of Moses

so was Lord Jesus struck by the wrath of God

Who is the Authority

as He is the Rock, stricken (Isaiah 53:4-6)

so He also gave up His life of His own free will (John 10:18)

as water coursed out of the rock to quench the thirst

of a people

relying only upon the mercy and compassion of God

so too did water flow from the side of Jesus

from the cross, upon the rock, the skull of death

even from the Rock, the Lord

when soldier’s spear did pierce His side (John 19:34)

because of the mercy and compassion of God

upon all those who would turn to Him

as the water provided renewed life to a parched people

so too does Lord Jesus provide renewed life, life everlasting, life eternal (John 3:16)

to those who drink from Him

because He lives

He is the source of living water (John 4:10)

the water that will not cease

as Moses obeyed the Lord in the sight of all the people

so too was Lord Jesus lifted up

before all people (John 12:32)

in obedience to God the Father (Philippians 2:8)

upon the rock

the Lord overcame death by trampling death

raised to life (Mark 16:6)

He, the Rock, the Cornerstone of the Church (Matthew 21:42)

which shall not be overcome by death’s own darkness (Psalm 23:4)

neither those hidden in Him

the rod of Christ protects His own

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I fear no evil, for You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” (Psalm 23:4)

His obedience, His death, His rod, His life, His people,

all His

upon this Rock

“it is finished”

—last words—lasting words

spoken from the rock of Calvary—the skull,

now overcome

living words

from the Rock, the Rock of life
