出埃及記12:43-51

12:43 耶和華對摩西、亞倫說：「逾越節的例是這樣：外邦人都不可吃這羊羔。
12:44 但各人用銀子買的奴僕，既受了割禮就可以吃。
12:45 寄居的和雇工人都不可吃。
12:46 應當在一個房子裡吃；不可把一點肉從房子裡帶到外頭去。羊羔的骨頭一根也不可折斷。
12:47 以色列全會眾都要守這禮。
12:48 若有外人寄居在你們中間，願向耶和華守逾越節，他所有的男子務要受割禮，然後才容他前來遵守，他也就像本地人一樣；但未受割禮的，都不可吃這羊羔。
12:49 本地人和寄居在你們中間的外人同歸一例。」
12:50 耶和華怎樣吩咐摩西、亞倫，以色列眾人就怎樣行了。
12:51 正當那日，耶和華將以色列人按著他們的軍隊，從埃及地領出來。

⁴³ The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “These are the regulations for the Passover meal:
“No foreigner may eat it. ⁴⁴ Any slave you have bought may eat it after you have circumcised him, ⁴⁵ but a temporary resident or a hired worker may not eat it.
⁴⁶ “It must be eaten inside the house; take none of the meat outside the house. Do not break any of the bones. ⁴⁷ The whole community of Israel must celebrate it.
⁴⁸ “A foreigner residing among you who wants to celebrate the Lord’s Passover must have all the males in his household circumcised; then he may take part like one born in the land. No uncircumcised male may eat it. ⁴⁹ The same law applies both to the native-born and to the foreigner residing among you.”

⁵⁰ All the Israelites did just what the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron. ⁵¹ And on that very day the Lord brought the Israelites out of Egypt by their divisions.

    猶太人吃逾越節的條例，讓我們感覺和吃聖餐的規定有些相同。而主耶穌設立第一個聖餐，也就是在逾越節的晚餐。只是主耶穌用餅和杯，來象徵自已的身體和寶血。

    逾越節的羔羊，只有受割禮的人可以享用，正如聖餐只有接受洗禮的人可以食用一般！表是基督只分享自己給祂所揀選的人，不是所有的人都可以領受。這不是基督不願意拯救所有的人，而是祂得拯救是有範圍的、是有限的！也唯有這樣，祂得拯救才是有意義的，才會讓受拯救得人心被恩感來服事上帝。

    親愛的弟兄姐妹，我們一定要向人宣告耶穌基督的拯救，只臨到祂所揀選的人，不是普救論，只是祂的拯救是沒有條件的，只要願意接受耶穌基督為救主的人，上帝都拯救！
