You are to determine the amount of lamb needed in accordance with what each person will eat. 5The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect, and you may take them from the sheep or the goats. 6Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the members of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight. 7Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs. 8That same night they are to eat the meat roasted over the fire, along with bitter herbs, and bread made without yeast.

Bible Study
Ex.12:1-8; 2Cor.5:17,A New Beginning, New Management, New Life–Living as an Eagle
1. Observation : The Story of the Eagle and the Chicks
An eaglet raised among a flock of chicks initially lived just like them, unaware of its own true capabilities. One day, upon seeing an eagle soaring through the sky, it flexed its own wings; realizing then that it was indeed an eagle, it took flight toward the vast blue heavens. Biblical Observation: Exodus Chapter 12 recounts the event in which the people of Israel departed from Egypt to embark upon a new life. 2Cor.5:17 speaks of becoming a "new creation" in Christ Jesus and commencing a new life. The elements of the Passover—the blood, the lamb, the unleavened bread, and the bitter herbs—symbolize the new spiritual sustenance, new stewardship, and holy practices essential to the life of a believer.

2. Interpretation
1) The Meaning of a New Beginning: Before we placed our faith in Jesus, our lives were limited and frail—much like those of chicks—and we remained under the influence of the world and of sin. Through salvation, we have become "new creations," children of God, and beings akin to eagles; recognizing this true identity is the crucial first step. Just as in the Exodus event, we must leave behind our familiar and comfortable lives (symbolized by Egypt) to embrace and live out our new status and new life.
2) Principles of New management: Applying the Blood: Repentance and the application of Christ's precious blood, leading to freedom from sin.
Eating the Lamb: Consuming Jesus Christ as our spiritual sustenance, thereby receiving strength and power for our lives.
Unleavened Bread and Bitter Herbs: Purging sinful and impure elements associated with the world, and managing one's life in a manner that is holy and set apart.
3) The Goal of the New Life: The Army of the LORD: As redeemed Christians, we are called to be trained warriors, tasked with fulfilling the mission entrusted to us. A Priestly Life: Acting as a mediator between God and humanity, and serving the community and the world through spiritual maturity and fullness.

3. Application: 1) Affirming Identity: I am not a chick, but an eagle. I believe that God is the Master of my life and that I am a child of God.
2) Practicing a New Beginning: I must leave behind past sins and worldly values ​​to step forward into a new life. I will establish the habit of offering the first moments of my day, my material resources, and my priorities to God.
2) Securing New Sustenance: I will feed on the Word, drink of the Holy Spirit, and receive spiritual nourishment daily. I will repent of my sins and steward my life carefully so as not to compromise God's grace.
3) Discipline and management As a soldier in the Lord's army, I will discipline my life and take action for the sake of God's Kingdom. As a priest, I will uphold holiness, build up others, and prioritize my relationship with God.

4. Commitment & Prayer : Commitment: From this day forward, I will live as an eagle. I will ensure that God remains the top priority in my life every day; I will repent of my sins and nourish myself through the Word and the Holy Spirit. I will live as both a soldier and a priest for the sake of God's Kingdom.
Prayer: O God, do not leave me as a frail creature like a chick; instead, enable me to soar toward the heavens like an eagle. Help me to steward my life anew, to walk in Your presence every day, and to be filled to overflowing with Your Word and the Holy Spirit. Grant me the streng th to fulfill my priestly calling and to dedicate myself fully to the advancement of Your Kingdom. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
