Firstborn


Exodus 34:19-20 ESV
19 All that open the womb are mine, all your male livestock, the firstborn of cow and sheep.
20 The firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb, or if you will not redeem it you shall break its neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. And none shall appear before me empty-handed.

Jesus is the firstborn, and those placing their faith in Him are reborn, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. 

The unredeemed fall headlong and break their neck as they trip on the stone of stumbling.
