My Passover Page

Worthy Is the Lamb!

The symbolism and meaning of Passover is very dear to my heart. It is simply the one season of the year that I love the most. The redeeming sacrifice of my Lord Jesus and what He did for me resonates strongly as the Passover theme. Passover is the first sacred time of the calendar; it starts the year, being in the first month. In the same way, the death of Jesus is also a just beginning; He died, rose, returned to takes His place beside the Father, and will return as Messiah the High Priest and High King of the Earth to bring the final fulfilment of this great season.

This page is dedicated to the Passover, my Lord Yeshua’s great sacrifice for me; specifically, the very first time I partook of the Passover: In memory of (among other things) the liberation of the Israelite slaves, the Passover meal that Jesus had with his disciples before He died, His betrayal and death, and proclaiming the Kingdom in all its glory.

Hallelu Yah! Thank You for my Passover!

Passover:
The Lord whose judgment passed over His people

Exodus 12:3 Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb for his family, one for each household.

Exodus 12:6 Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the people of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight.
Exodus 12:7 Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs.

Exodus 12:12 “On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn—both men and animals—and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD.
Exodus 12:13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.

Exodus 12:26 And when your children ask you, ‘What does this ceremony mean to you?’
Exodus 12:27 then tell them, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice to the LORD, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt and spared our homes when he struck down the Egyptians.’ ” Then the people bowed down and worshiped.

Passover:
The Lord, the Lamb, who suffered in atonement for the world

John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

Matthew 26:2 “As you know, the Passover is two days away—and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”

Isaiah 53:2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
Isaiah 53:3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Isaiah 53:4 Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.
Isaiah 53:5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.

Isaiah 53:7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.

Colossians 2:14 Christ has utterly wiped out the damning evidence of broken laws and commandments which always hung over our heads, and has completely annulled it by nailing it over his own head on the cross.
(The New Testament in Modern English, by J.B. Phillips)

1 Corinthians 5:7 Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

Passover:
The Lord’s Supper

Matthew 26:17 On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”
Matthew 26:18 He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’ ” Matthew 26:19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

Matthew 26:26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
Matthew 26:27 Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.
Matthew 26:28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

John 13:3 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God;
John 13:4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist.
John 13:5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

John 13:12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them.
John 13:13 “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am.
John 13:14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.
John 13:15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.

John 6:54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

1 Corinthians 10: 17 For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread.
