In Exodus 12, why did God have the passover killed right after sunset at the beginning of the 14th day of the first month when his plan called for Jesus to fulfill the Passover sacrifice by dying on the afternoon of the 14th near the end of that day? In this sermon Gary Smith gives us the answer to this important question.
