Passover, what is called Communion today, commemorates the event recorded in Exodus, in which the ancient Israelites were freed from slavery in Egypt.
This year Passover begins on Monday, April 22nd, 2024, at sundown.
So why should I care about the Passover season since that is the Old Testament and we are living according to the New Testament?
In Exodus 12:1-20, it talks about how they were to kill the Passover lamb and put its blood on the door post of their homes. The lamb was to be roasted with fire and all of it eaten before morning.
Jesus kept this Passover feast as directed by the commandment of God, Luke 22:14-20. All this he did to signify, that by his death, that he now was our Passover lamb, and his blood would keep death away from our home or temple (us).
The importance of these two events, represents the deliverance of mankind from the bondage of Egypt (sin).
So, when we eat the Communion supper, we are testifying naturally, that we are spiritually eating daily of our Passover Lamb (the bread of life) Jesus Christ and drinking of his blood (the Holy Spirit).
Our only hope of salvation is to understand why Passover and Communion, which are one, are so important to our daily lives.
That is why we hold the Passover\Communion once a year, to coincide with the Passover that Jesus took. Giving it the importance and reality it holds in our spiritual walk with Jesus.
