Most people think Passover means God skipped over the houses with blood on the doorposts.

But the Hebrew word Pesach doesn’t mean “to pass by”—it means to hover over or protect.

God didn’t avoid those homes…He entered into covenant with them.

He hovered over them like a shield and he stood guard as death swept through Egypt.

Passover isn’t about avoidance- it’s about presence.

A God who draws near to protect those marked by His covenant.
