Hyssop Humility

Passover and Business

Exodus 12:22

Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and apply some of the blood that is in the basin to the lintel and to the two doorposts.

The Israelites used hyssop to protect themselves on Passover because it is a simple, lowly shrub. The first step toward freedom and transcendence is the removal of pride and egoism. Like the hyssop, a leader must remain humble, unassuming, and down to earth.

  1. Where do you have pride that needs to be removed?
  2. What are you currently a slave to? How can you free yourself?
