Safety is Under the Blood
Commentators explain that the command to stay inside was absolute. Safety from the destroyer was found only within the homes marked by the blood of the lamb. Scholars like Albert Barnes and Matthew Henry note that to step outside was to forfeit this divine protection. This powerfully illustrates that our spiritual safety is not based on our location or merit, but exclusively on our being covered by the protective blood of Christ.
