 Quote Of The Day:

 

 Christ In The Passover – Moshe Rosen

 

“ God includes everyone in the death sentence in Exodus 11:5. God must do the right thing because He is God, but He balances His righteousness with His loving mercy.  He decrees judgement for all sin and all sinners, then He provides a way of escape, a kiporah, a covering”
