God includes everyone in the death sentence in Exodus 11:5: "Every firstborn son in Egypt will die." God must do the just thing because He is God, but He balances His righteousness with His loving mercy. He decrees judgment for all sinners; then He provides a way of escape, a kiporah, or covering. While rain falls on everyone, those who have an umbrella do not get wet. For those who seek His way to satisfy the demands of His Law, God provides the blood of the lamb as a covering.
---Ceil & Moishe Rosen, Christ in the PassoverMercy... fulfilled the law...
Mercy... defeated death...
Mercy... saves...
Mercy triumphs over judgment.
James 2:13 ESV
