Our culture is pretty familiar with Easter as a spring holiday that has religious connections. Of course, many celebrate Easter without focusing on the resurrection of Jesus or the offer of spiritual regeneration. But the nation of Israel has their own version of this holiday, and it is actually the holiday that was taking place when Jesus died. It is called the Passover. And this morning we’re going to look at the actual event – which was the tenth plague over Egypt, and the final straw in God breaking Pharaoh’s will. There are many crossovers between the two holidays besides just the yearly timing, and we want to see how Passover laid the groundwork for God’s people to understand what Jesus would do about 1500 years later.
