I'll post some clips because the article is long. ******************************************************************** So many have asked the simple question: Why Passover? In Exodus 12:3-14 we read, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They broke bread together as they met in there homes and ate with glad and sincere hearts. Some think that a day is special when others treat everyday as special unto the Lord. So What ever we believe in our hearts to be right for US in honoring Christ, is received by God, because it comes from the heart.Bu most importantly, it comes by faith.

Matt 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?" 18He 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.' " 19So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover. but I have a question. If Christ (and i know he's the paschal lamb) ATE the passover the night before he died - doesn't that mean the priests' sacrificial lambs were already slain in teh temple the day before Christ was actually killed? theyd already eaten the passover lambs, no? or passover was a several day feast, was it not??? i think im just a bit confused so if somebody could help me out .. question 2: why break bread (He's the bread of life) but why break bread and say be reminded of Him instead of break the meat at the table (the lamb?).... i think im a bit confused on my passover tradition.............helpppppppp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lamb sacrificed in the Temple was not the ones eaten by the individual families and groups. ]question 2: why break bread (He's the bread of life) but why break bread and say be reminded of Him instead of break the meat at the table (the lamb?).... i think im a bit confused on my passover tradition.............helpppppppp Both the bread and the cup are from traditions that became a part of the Passover ceremony. I'll see if I have time tomorrow to give you this info, it someone else doesn't get to it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get frustrated and disappointed at the indifference in many denominations to our Jewish heritage through the celebration of Passover and the determination to cling to church traditions rather than biblical truths...we miss out yet again. I thought it was a good article, but I would point out one place where I would be at variance with the author:- On the original Passover night, everything pointed to Jesus! Every father in Israel was told to stand at the door of his house with a basin containing the blood of the lamb. He was to dip a branch of hissop into the blood and smear the blood on the two doorposts of the house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
