This is a short video clip and an idea to help you create your own video on this week’s topic, plus a few follow-up questions to spark discussion afterwards.
OPTION 1
Create a video clip that illustrates how Christ’s blood saves us. This can be a challenge to understand, and an even greater challenge to communicate by video. The process itself can be helpful to deepen one’s comprehension and appreciation for Jesus. Ask someone in advance to create follow-up questions based on these video clips.
OPTION 2
Watch this short clip below from the 1998 animated movie The Prince of Egypt (watch the entire video Friday or Saturday night). This clip presents the 10th plague—the death of the firstborn son in houses where residents failed to apply the blood of the Lamb on their doorposts.
- Why did the enslaved Israelites put blood on their doorposts?
- What instructions/directions from God don’t make sense to you?
- Image being in Egypt the night the angel of death came. What would it be like in the house of an Israelite? What would it be like in the house of an Egyptian? What would it be like in Pharaoh’s palace?
- Why have Jewish people continued to celebrate the Passover for thousands of years? Why do Christians celebrate the Lord’s Supper?
- In what ways do you apply the blood of the lamb to your house today—either literally or symbolically?
