Passover of the Most High God
'Ready Answer' by David C. GrabbeThe title "Most High God" first emerges in the context of Passover, marking a significant introduction to God's supreme nature as the Possessor of heaven and earth. This title, used four times in this section, underscores His deep care and concern for His creations, far beyond mere ownership, as He governs with a will and purpose that is inherently good. The Most High God actively engages in human affairs, showing Himself strong on behalf of His people and delivering their enemies into their hands, as seen with Abraham. Whenever Scripture employs the title "Most High," it portrays God blessing His people with whatever they need to fulfill His perfect will, whether through knowledge, physical provision, or defense and deliverance from enemies. His personal involvement is a constant blessing, evident in the supernatural conception of His Son, Jesus Christ, who is called the Son of the Most High, ensuring a blessing to all mankind. The Psalms illustrate the works of the Most High's providence, though often with a tone of unbelief from the people, as Israel failed to trust that the Possessor of heaven and earth would govern favorably for them, provoking His wrath. This highlights the importance of faith in His deliverance and His willingness to provide every good thing for His people, including a Lamb without blemish to take away sins. Protection and deliverance from enemies, both visible and spiritual, are recurring themes with this title. The Most High blesses His people with protection and forgiveness when sought, countering spiritual forces that sow division and doubt, and aiding in the battle against the carnal self through His strength. Ultimately, He provides victory over the last enemy, death, through the life, death, and resurrection of His Son, enabling His people to follow in His footsteps. The title "Most High" enhances the appreciation of Passover as a profound blessing, reminding us of His active governance in the affairs of those He has called.
