““You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.”
John 13:13-15
The words “A new command I give you” found in the book of John are the same as what words found in the synoptic gospels?
“This cup is the new covenant in my blood which is poured out for you.”
“Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all share the one loaf.”
1 Corinthians 10:16-17
People insist that Jesus did not celebrate the Last Supper on the Day of the Passover but rather on the day before. Why is this insistence wrong?
In Matthew, Mark and Luke, Jesus clearly said to his disciples “Prepare the Passover” or “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you…”
People insist that it was on the day of the Passover that Jesus was hung on the cross, saying he must be crucified on the day when the Passover Lamb was to be sacrificed. What 2 things does this prove these people have no idea? Explain why their insistence is wrong.
They neither know the Feasts nor the prophesies fulfilled by Jesus.
The Atonement sacrifice is greater than the Passover sacrifice. So Jesus should have also been slaughtered on the 10th day of the 7th month.
Jesus become the sacrifice of all Feasts but for fulfillment of prophecy, he must be sacrificed on the 15th day of the 1st month
“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.””
Galatians 3:13
“On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?””
Mark 14:12
Explain the OT Passover.
- Passover was first celebrated in Egypt by the Israelites.
- In the second year after the exodus, they celebrated the Passover in the desert after the tabernacle was set up.
- At the end of the 40 years in the desert, they kept the Passover at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho just before entering Canaan.
- After entering Canaan they did not celebrate it and began worshiping idols.
- In the days of K. Josiah and K. Hezekiah, they kept the Passover again after being advised by prophets, and destroyed all the idols.
- After returning from Babylonian captivity, they built the temple and kept the Passover.
- Jesus kept the Passover of the Nee Covenant with his disciples.
What happened during the 40 years in the desert after the Exodus showed what would take place when?
During a 2,000 year period of the gospel age.
In Revelation 18:1-3 it says “The earth was illuminated by his splendor.” The splendor in the light of the truth of the Passover through Jesus’ blood shed on the cross. Explain.
King Josiah had worshiped every demon and Baal for 18 years, not knowing Gods temple became a home for them. Once he kept the Passover, he immediately destroyed all of them. (2 Kings 23:1-7, 21-25)
When you keep the Passover, your spiritual eyes are opened and you will recognize idols you may have served unknowingly and also idols in churches and you will abhor them.
Why does Satan hate Passover the most?
If we keep the regulations of the New Covenant Satan will be destroyed. If we do not, he will exercise ecclesiastical power and suppress us so that we can neither remember the day of our redeemer not be saved.
“That prophet or dreamer must be put to death for inciting rebellion against the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slavery. That prophet or dreamer tried to turn you from the way the Lord your God commanded you to follow. You must purge the evil from among you.”
Deuteronomy 13:5
“But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.”
2 Peter 2:1
“How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?”
Hebrews 10:29
At the end of the chapter, what does Father mention are the results of keeping the Passover.
- We are redeemed from this sinful world
- We keep the 1st Commandment because all other gods are destroyed
- We have the right to the Tree of Life and the Holy City
- It becomes a mark with which we can escape the seven last plagues
