******************************
The Passover: God's Best at Your Worst - 6
Being at our worst made God's grace that much more obvious
Passover is the shadow of the cross to come
I need to see myself rightly apart from Christ - absolutely evil
Example: Pharoh, shown how weak he was to demonstrate God's Power
God Attacks the Nile the giver of life
God Attacks with the Frogs, conqueroring the creator God of Egypt
God Attacks with the Gnats the earth God
God Attacks with the Flies - Price of the Air
God Attacks the Livestock - Sacred Bull is powerless
God will attack my idols to show me how worthless they are

In my worst sin God is forgiving me
At my worst is when Jesus says I'll take you
Yet I will not do the same so often, You are terrible I won't forgive you
Do I hold onto forgiveness as a weapon to wound other people
From my worst bondage God will free me
So in my worst suffering I MUST forgive those who hurt me
High Treason against God - Refusing to forgive when God forgives me
Unforgiveness - Drinking poison and hoping the other person will die

Jesus is the Blood and we are the household woth the blood my my doorposts

Idols on the mantle, o blood on the doorposts - Death
Idols on the mantle, blood on the doorposts - Life

The Blood payment - true life in in his blood
The costly grace that God the Father did not think too expensive to lavish on us

Therapy as heretical self atonement
I cannot forgive myself - The blood payment is too costly, I can't afford it
I am forgiven by God alone I need to know that God sees me through the cross

The Result of believeing Satan's lie that I can be God and demand payment for sin
Hating God - Holding someone liable for their sin against me and mine when God hasn't held me liable
