In less than 5 weeks we will be celebrating the Passover this year. It is not a coincidence that the Passover begins the first observance of the spring Holy Days every year… only 14 days after the start of a new Hebrew year. The meaning of the Passover is central to our salvation and calling because it is centered around the role of Jesus Christ. Let’s begin today by reminding ourselves that the Passover [shed blood and death of our Savior] is more than an Old Testament event first mentioned in Exodus 12. It is part of the New Covenant and was part of God’s original plan all along.

    Thank you Debra: Yes, God has a wonderful plan for all humanity. He also is working out a special plan for your life right now. As Paul wrote, "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." (Ephesians 2:10) I pray that you will have a rewarding and inspiring Passover this year.

    Greg, it made my heart ache with joy to hear you explain God's love for me, and for mankind, my family, my friends; that He could plan this from the very beginning of time to save us all. In my daily prayer with My Father this morning I asked Him to show me what He sees when He looks at my heart, so that I can take this Passover with the right humility and gratitude for what the Father and His Son Jesus Christ have done for me. I deeply desire this year to take this Passover with a new heart and mind, to truly appreciate this selfless sacrifice of my Lord Jesus Christ. I feel deeply privileged to be loved by my Great God and He so deserves for me to be more faithful to Him as He is to me. Half my family have not yet responded to their calling so it is with a thankful and hopeful heart when I read how God, in His mercy and love for humankind, has planned, in His timing of course, for that reconciliation through our Lord Jesus Christ. I know that day is coming. Thank you for explaining that the Passover has not been done away with and for giving me insight into the Scriptures I can use to defend why I do keep the Passover.
