What does it mean that the Lord passes over His people?

The phrase 'passing over' in the sermon relates to God's active judgment against enemies and His protective grace over His people. This is analogous to the Passover in Egypt, where the blood on the doorposts safeguarded the Israelites from God’s judgment. Similarly, God's passing over Christians means that He actively defends them from spiritual threats and reproach, blinding the eyes of their adversaries. It illustrates God’s providential care in their lives, ensuring that despite the attempts to harm them, His people remain secure and preserved. This theme emphasizes not only His mercy but also His sovereignty in actively engaging in battle against those who threaten His church.
