So much better than the lamb the Israelites sacrificed, Jesus Himself is the Sacrificial Lamb, who saved us in a way that is similar to that of the Israelite's sacrifice. On another note, I just wanted to mention that I love the message you present here of peace and ending of division. It is indeed very appropriate in today's world, as always. “This week we remember and celebrate a different path that God takes to redeem, deliver and save us: Jesus, the Lamb of God, gives up his own life rather than taking others’.” – This part of your devotional made me think of something.

Your connection from that motherly council to the maternal whisper from God to remember who I am creates for me a niche for Holy Week that contains warmth, remembering, challenge, call.
