Sorry...this is 3 questions in one: What was the final plague God sent against Egypt? What did the Israelites need to do to protect themselves against this plague? How does this connect to Jesus?
1. God sent the death of the firstborn in every Egyptian household.
2. They put the blood of a lamb on their doorposts so the angel of death would pass over their homes.
3. Just as the lamb’s blood saved the Israelites, Jesus’ blood saves believers from sin and death. These door posts (likely made of wood) dripped with the blood of lamb in Exodus but years later Jesus' blood (the true lamb) dripped down the cross (also made of wood) to save us from sin and death for all time.
