The Types of Redemption
85
but when they came out that night, there wasn’t one feeble person! I submit to you, something
very miraculous happened in connection with the Passover lamb. Oh, something amazing
happened.
Try today to find 2 million people in any group, or even find a church of 50, where there’s not
one feeble or diseased or weak person among all of them. In this whole nation, there could not be
found one weak, feeble, or broke—because the first part of it was silver and gold.
Is this a type? Is this a type of redemption? What does a type do? A type portrays the real thing.
It points toward what is coming. Who is the Lamb? Jesus. They were spared.
It was by the blood. They were
not
destroyed because of the blood.
Something else happened. Old Uncle Ernie, who had a stroke out in the field ten years ago and
was paralyzed on one whole side of his body and couldn’t go anywhere—Uncle Ernie got ready.
They dressed Uncle Ernie and put his boots on him.
Aunt Minnie, who had been beaten by a taskmaster and had her hip broken and an eye knocked
out, and had just been in poor health for the last ten years, got ready, too. They got Aunt Minnie
ready. Aunt Minnie said, “Get my boots! Get my boots! We’re leaving here! We’re coming out
of here.”
“We can’t tote all these sick people, how are we going to leave?” He didn’t say anything about
that. He said, “Get ready! Get dressed. Get packed up. Get ready to go and eat! Eat the body of
the lamb.”
Glory to God! Is there healing here? It’s in a type of redemption. If there is healing in the type,
there has to be healing in the real thing, in what it was pointing toward, in what it was portraying.
Is there salvation from destruction and death in Jesus, just like there was in the type? We say,
“Apply the blood and be saved.” What about the rest of it? “Eat the body and be healed.” What
about the rest of it? “Get rich. Get plenty of silver and gold.” The first thing you need when you
get delivered out of darkness and spiritual bondage, out of the devil’s kingdom, is plenty of
money and a good strong body. Now I have money. Now I have health. I’m ready to serve God.
Come on, let’s do it.
Do we have anything less under the fulfillment of the Passover Lamb than they had under the
type? People try to tell us this kind of nonsense. The truth is, if it’s in the type, it’s in the
fulfillment of the type. If they could get protected and get rich and get healed through the
Passover lamb, surely we can get protected, delivered, healed, and blessed through the Lamb—
the Lamb of which it was a type.
The Cleansing Ceremony of the Leper
Now we will look at another type. The Old Testament is just full of these, and every one of them
is pointing to Jesus. There’s healing in them.
