For thousands of years Israel & her offspring have celebrated Passover (Their deliverance from Egyptian Slavery [Ex. 12: 22]).
Some 2000 years ago Yeshua (Jesus Christ) became our Passover sacrifice (I Cor. 5:7) [Deliverance for all who believe in him, from the slavery of bondage to sin and this world, just as it was in the beginning, Ex.12:22; Heb 11:28] that we might enter into a relationship with God through Jesus, knowing he has cleansed us and set us apart for his use. (Psm. 4:3; Heb. 10:22)
Over time the division between Judaism with Christianity has become so prominent that, we Christians have almost lost the link between what we call “ Good Friday” and Passover; We forget that the Passover Seder celebrated by Jews was the last supper shared by Yeshua (Jesus) and his disciples in Jerusalem. The symbolism of the Passover Seder is rich toward all that Jesus accomplished and what is written about in the New Testament, it points to the “Passion of the Christ” the Lamb that was slain. At the first passover those who believed were saved from death by the sprinkling of blood on their homes, likewise, we are saved by the Sprinkling of the blood of Yeshua; the Matzos (bread of affliction) Yeshua (Jesus) was afflicted (Isa 53:7; Matt 16:21) He is our bread (John 6:48), in the Jewish Seder the bread is put into a bag with 3 pouches, the middle one(called Aphikomen) is removed, broken and hidden, later to be found and used, that is so prophetic of the suffering servant Jesus, who would be in the grave 3 days and on the third day Rise again (Mat. 12:39; Jonah 1:17)! The Passover Haggadah is also forward looking to Messiah with a cup of wine reserved for Elijah the coming prophet who will prepare the way for the Messiah (Mal. 4:5), for Christians this is the fulfillment of John the Baptist (Mat. 11:14) and also the equivalent of Rev 11:3 where God sends 2 witness who will preach 3.5 years, before Christ’s return, Elijah is thought to be one of those witnesses.
So this year as we celebrate this Season of Passover, let us keep our Seders (the order of things) (1Co 5:8) remembering the history from whence we’ve come and the promise of what is coming! Resurrection Sunday!
