Passover

Today is the Jewish Holy day of Passover.
A day Jesus kept holy and I feel I am remiss as a believer in my Jewish savior ( Jesus) to not at least acknowledge the great deliverance he accomplished in his pre-incarnate state of being. I was not brought up keeping this day sacred and it was barely mentioned by most Christians (even now).
This is as good a link as any for brief over view but happy passover to my Jewish friends and progenitors

Personally we plan to feast today have communion and eat unleavened bread for the next 7 days as God asked the Jews to do to commemorate the last plague on Egypt which lead to the freeing of Israel. that Old Testament historical event is repeated in the new testament by Jesus our Passover Lamb slain so the Death angel now passes over every true believer who loves God and keeps his commandments.

The new testament Passover is now memorialized by the communion and washing of the saints feet annually or "as often as we drink that cup ...:

1Cr 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.


Jesus is our Passover lamb prepared by God for our every sin:

Jhn 1:29




The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the
sin of the world.
Now we do not apply this blood to our outward homes ; doors and windows ; but rather the blood of Jesus is applied to our hearts in obeying the words of Jesus, God, and his spirit; and loving him and our neighbor; in gratitude to Jesus for his sacrifice so that we can have life.

Rev 12:17






And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which
keep the
commandments of God,

and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
