The Bible speaks of Christ being our Passover.
"Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a
new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for
us:" - 1 Corinthians 5:7 KJV
Tonight April 8th at sunset, begins the first
night of Passover.
Pesach (Passover) is April 8 to April 16, 2020
The eight-day festival of Passover celebrates the
emancipation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. It is observed by
avoiding leaven and highlighted by the Seder meals that include eating matza
and bitter herbs, and retelling the story of the Exodus. (Chabad.org).
The story of the Exodus can be found in Exodus chapters 11
through 14.
"Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the
first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: and ye
shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole
assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening." -
Exodus 12:5-6 KJV
Jesus is our Passover.
"Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with
corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by
tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a
lamb without blemish and without spot:" - 1 Peter 1:18-19 KJV
