The young seventeen year old was sitting by the window on a hot summer
afternoon and staring at the beautiful scenery outside.
It was a year now since mum passed,
"She is in a beautiful place. She did
her duty. It was so sudden; God has our days numbered".
pastor said.
A zillion thoughts was whizzing in
her head all at once,
The political science class lecture was
going on and the class as usual was boring and crowded.
She found her eyelids shutting and
before she knew it she was lost in the land of dreams and visions.
Back into time she saw her now deceased
mother reading to her younger brother and her stories from the bible when
they were little.
It was the story of the Passover
where the Israelites were asked to apply the blood of the lamb on the door
posts of the house
“Why they did that ma,” her brother had asked.
“To keep them safe from the judgments
of God”, their mother had replied.
Exodus 12:13 CJB
13 The blood will serve you as a
sign marking the houses where you are; when I see the blood, I will pass
over [a] you — when I strike the land of
Egypt, the death blow will not strike you.
“Can the blood of
the lamb keep us safe in today’s age and time,” she had asked
“Yes, Jesus is the Lamb
of God, when we apply the blood of Jesus upon the door posts of our hearts, our
minds, our homes, our businesses, our jobs, our families we are keeping ourselves
safe from the all evil and dangers that may befall us.
"Jessy! Jessy! , she
heard a voice and felt someone nudging her to wake up.
"The dreamer has
again fallen asleep in class", she could hear her master’s voice.
"Tell me Jessy, how we can keep our nation safe from the rumor of wars and pestilence that is spreading near us"?
“By applying the
blood of the Lamb”! She blurted out.
The whole class laughed,
“Not a wrong answer though” the master said
"Since we have no other alternative we can try what Jessy said" he told the class with a smile.
