Passover

In preparation for His betrayal and crucifixion, Jesus instructed His disciples to observe the final Passover, a tradition dating back to the Exodus. Symbolizing Jesus as the Lamb of God, this Passover took on new significance. Jesus exemplified love through foot washing, urging His followers to do likewise. He introduced new symbolic meaning for the bread and wine, representing His body and blood for the remission of sins. These examples and traditions remain yearly reminders to many Christians who continue to observe the Passover. In 1 Corinthians 11:23 through 26, Paul emphasized the importance of this memorial, applicable to all who follow Jesus. His sacrifice addresses the consequences of sin, offering salvation and eternal life to those who believe. The 'Passover' marks the first step in God's plan of salvation!
