“This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the LORD a lasting ordinance.”
- Exodus 12:14
- Exodus 12:14

In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Lord's Passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. -Lev. 23:5-8

“That our Master Y’shua, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and blessed, and broke (it) and said: “Take, eat; this is my body which is broken for your sakes: do this in remembrance of me.”So, after they had dined, he gave also the cup and said: “This cup is the renewed covenant in my blood: do this as often as you drink (it), in remembrance of me” For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you commemorate the death of our Master, until his return.” - 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, "This month is to be for you the first month, the first month of your year." (Exodus 12:2)
“This day shall be to you one of remembrance: you shall celebrate it as an institution for all time.” (Exodus 12:14) "Celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread, because it was on this very day that I brought your divisions out of Egypt. Celebrate this day as a lasting ordinance for the generations to come." (Exodus 12:17) Pesach (Passover) begins on the 14th day of the Hebrew month of Nissan. These Feasts celebrated on Passover are God commanded. A Holy Convocation unto the Lord for all His children! Where in scripture does He ever tell us to stop this commandment? It doesn’t! Each of the Festivals of The LORD contains both its unique remembrance and its prophecy. At Passover our ancestors remembered when God delivered His people from the bondage of Egypt. Today we too remember this but we have more, we remember Yeshua (Jesus), our kinsman redeemer, who offered Himself up, eternally restoring the covenant Hashem made with our father Abraham. Yeshua revealed a deeper meaning to the feast, beyond a simple recognition of God's deliverance of His people from bondage in Egypt. It is no coincidence that Passover became the setting for the ultimate sacrifice of our Messiah; the plan of God was laid from the foundation of the world. The disciples were well aware of the story of Passover, having celebrated it each year all their lives. But on that particular night, they came to understand that their friend and teacher was soon to leave them, and would return in power to redeem His people in a way they could not yet imagine. I write this not to simply teach you of Jewish things, but to teach you our God’s heritage, your heritage! Whether you were born a Jew or a Gentile in Messiah, or whether you are 'grafted in' to the root of the Messiah, this is your heritage. It is the foundation of our faith! In order to understand this foundation and reap the richness and fullness of His message, we must learn of the culture of which He established, of which He lived his entire existence on earth. The culture in which our Master came and taught His Disciples! Immerse yourself in His Holy Word. What did God mean? Why did He do that? Oftentimes His message lay hidden because of the cultural differences. My prayer for you is that God's Word will live in your heart and that He will remove those obstacles in your life that have become barriers to His Grace. Come, grow with me. Experience His promises in the Passover! Let those who are hungry, come and eat! |
Passover is the story of FREEDOM, DEFIANCE, HOPE and RENEWAL. It is when we remember how Hashem brought our fathers, out of Egypt, and revealed Himself as The Almighty Living God.

The purpose and significant of Passover:
The name of the festival, Pesach in Hebrew, (passing over or protection) is derived from the instructions given to Moses by God. God Commanded Moses to tell the children of Israel, “I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you of their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched hand, and with great judgments: And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God” and you will know that I am the LORD your God…And I will bring you into the land that I swore to give Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; it will be your heritage: I am the LORD.” -Exodus 6
