The Shabbat (Sabbath) before Pesach (Passover) is called Shabbat haGadol (the Great Sabbath), because it commemorates when lambs were selected for the first Pesach, to protect the inhabitants of the home from the Heaven-sent Destroyer.

On one particular Lamb Selection Day, the fullness of that annual commemoration — Messiah Yeshua (Christ Jesus) — entered Jerusalem as part of a mission to protect those in the ever-expanding house of God from the bondage of lives separated from Heaven.

Messiah Yeshua (Christ Jesus) taught that the life choices that are truly profitable long-term aren’t obvious to those with the worldview of the now (John 12:25).

That teaching parallels the main theme of the Torah reading נִצָּבִים Nitzavim (“standing,”Deut. 29:9-30:20): “choose life.” One would think that choosing life over death would be a no-brainer, but we learn that this command is simultaneously easy and extremely difficult.
