Passover

Thursday was the last day Jesus would spend with his disciples before the cross. It was the day of Passover, the time when Israel remembered God’s faithfulness in delivering them from slavery in Egypt.

In the New Testament, Jesus came to be the Passover lamb. When John the Baptist saw Jesus walking down the road, he said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29).

A true Christian understands that Jesus is the Passover lamb and trusts in the work he did on the cross as the only way to have a relationship with the living God.

Jesus, our Passover Lamb, gives us the right to become children of God and protects us from death—the final enemy. Because of Jesus, we will pass from death to life.

When we trust in Jesus - His death to pay the penalty of our sins - His blood is applied to us. Our sins are forgiven. We are declared righteous before God.
