Passover\Communion – The greatest Holiday (Holy Day) recorded in the scriptures is Passover. This year Passover begins at sundown on Wednesday, April 5th at sundown. The First Passover was in Egypt.
The children of Israel did not want to leave their home, but the time of deliverance was at hand. God had to drive them from their home, through the hardness of Pharaoh's heart.
Jesus kept the Passover and magnified it for the New Testament church.
Luke 22:14-20, And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer: For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
The importance to these two events represents the deliverance of mankind from the bondage of Egypt (sin). Paul stated in 1 Corinthians 11:27-29, that whether we take communion naturally or spiritually, that we do not eat and drink of the Lord Jesus Christ unworthily.
