Passover on SermonAudio

This sermon examines Exodus 12:1-6 to reveal the Passover lamb as the clearest Old Testament type of Jesus Christ. The exposition highlights how God established a new beginning for Israel, illustrating that salvation initiates a new life where Christ must be prioritized above all else. It emphasizes the sufficiency of Christ, noting that He is never too small to save any who come to Him by faith, and calls for parents to actively teach their children about this redemption. The message underscores the necessity of a spotless, sinless substitute, pointing to Jesus' perfect life and His willing death as the only means of escape from judgment. Ultimately, the sermon urges listeners to move beyond merely acknowledging Jesus as a religious figure to personally receiving Him as their own Lamb for salvation.

The sermon explores the theological mystery of God's eternal decrees as illustrated in the events leading up to the crucifixion. It contrasts the evil intentions of the chief priests and Judas, who sought to kill Jesus secretly, with God's sovereign purpose to redeem humanity through the Passover Lamb. By examining the Spurgeon Catechism and passages such as Psalm 2 and Genesis 50, the message affirms that while men are fully responsible for their sinful motives and actions, God overrules their evil to fulfill His good plan. The tone is both comforting to believers regarding God's control over history and convicting to those who rebel against Christ. The sermon concludes with an urgent call to repentance, urging listeners to submit to God's will and trust in Jesus for eternal blessing.

This sermon explores the significance of Jesus declaring Himself the bread of life within the context of the Passover and the miracle of the loaves. It distinguishes between merely admiring the provision of God and actively appropriating it, using the analogy of a farmer who fails to harvest a field. The message emphasizes that Christ is the necessary, sufficient, and often despised source of spiritual life, contrasting the temporary satisfaction of worldly pleasures with the enduring fulfillment found in Him. Listeners are urged to focus on the Giver rather than the gifts, trust in Christ's work rather than their own, and take hold of Him by faith to receive everlasting life.

The feast of Passover is prophetically reflective of Jesus' death on the cross. The feast of Unleavened Bread is also prophetically reflective. We talk about the fulfillment of this feast in our time together.

Israel's crossing the Red Sea was first accomplished by faith, through the hearing of faith. Then the obedience of faith followed.

An examination of the beginnings of the conflict between Jesus and the religious leaders in Jerusalem as He cleared the temple courts of the merchants and money changers whom the leaders had allowed to defile the temple courts for the first time. Passover was an ideal time for this to occur as the the Messianic implications of Malachi 3:1-3 make clear.

In John 6:41-59 the crowd grumbles at Jesus' words, because no one comes to him unless the Father draws him. Jesus calls himself the living bread from heaven, and he gives his flesh on the cross for the life of the world. Like the Passover lamb, yet once for all, his broken body frees his people from judgment and from slavery to sin. To eat his flesh and drink his blood means to believe in him: verses 47 and 54 make the same promise of eternal life. The present tense, and a Supper Jesus had not yet given, rule out the Roman Catholic reading. Feeding on Christ continues daily in the Word and prayer. Whoever feeds on him abides in him, and Jesus will raise him up on the last day.
