Exodus 12, The Passover , part 1

The Passover

In chapter 12 of Exodus, God commands a Passover meal to be eaten. This meal is celebrated as what the English language calls Passover by Jews around the world still, every year. As you will see from the links below, however (after the calendar link), Christ is in the Passover meal, start to finish. So in order to deal with the tremendous amount of symbolism in the Passover meal, I wanted to take this evening's study and spend it just on this meal, with the rest of chapter 12 to follow tomorrow.

First, the Jewish calendar

I ran a search for “Passover” on the Jews for Jesus site because I knew they had dealt with the message of “Christ in the Passover meal” and I wanted you folks to see it. What I found when I typed in that word was a whole lot more and I urge any who read this page to take your time and go to

and type in “Passover” in the search box on the upper right.

And enjoy.

Here are some other links with a great deal to say.
