A Lamb for a House

In the Western world, we think of salvation almost entirely in individualistic terms - that the individual, as one person totally distinct from everyone else, gets saved. Certainly as individuals we are each responsible for our own walk with God; nevertheless, there is also a strong sense of community and specifically of family in the Scriptures. When God made His covenant with men, He did not make it just with a particular individual, but He made it with that person and his family.
