It was not a coincidence that the crucifixion of Jesus was carried out during the time of Passover. There is deep meaning in the timing of this great act of love. As Pastor David explains in today’s message, long before Jesus was born into human flesh, God knew His purpose for Him. In the same way that He presented the enslaved Israelites with protection from the death of the firstborn, He presented Christ as a sacrificial Lamb, bringing salvation to anyone who accepts His gift.
