The Passover

Exodus 12:24-28 (I’m only going to read these verses)

“Obey these instructions as a lasting ordinance for you and your descendants. When you enter the land that the LORD will give you as he promised, observe this ceremony. And when your children ask you, ‘What does this ceremony mean to you?’ then tell them, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice to the LORD, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt and spared our homes when he struck down the Egyptians.’” Then the people bowed down and worshiped. The Israelites did just what the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron.

THE STORY: A story of miraculous deliverance

THE FEAST: A commemoration of God’s redemptive grace

THE FULFILLMENT: Jesus used this story and its images to contextualize His Messianic ministry
