It is noteworthy the Holy Bible in 1 Cor. 5:7 describes Jesus Christ as “our Passover,” but never calls Him “our Easter.” The Bible, which represents the God-breathed Word of God, would not have attributed such a description to Christ. Why? The Bible doesn’t consider Easter a biblical festival and it does not have roots […]

The Passover is one of the seven annual festivals of God listed in Leviticus 23. However, in the book of Exodus is where we first see its meaning and celebration explained. It was kept in remembrance of the Lord freeing His people from slavery by passing over the houses of the Israelites (Exodus 12:13) while […]

We celebrate Passover because it pictures our deliverance from the bondage of sin. Christ would like us to focus on His redeeming grace by remembering His death—the ultimate sacrifice—until He comes again into His kingdom.

He wanted them to be a light to the world, so He gave them specific statutes and judgments, and warned Israel to follow His instructions.

Unquestionably, Jesus Christ was a Jewish Passover observing individual. He never kept an Easter in His life! How then, did the day He both observed and instituted for the sacrificial emblems of His body and blood change from Passover to Easter? Who did it and how was it done? Church history is a fascinating story. […]
