People are well aware of the crucifixion event, but when they hear about the Passover event, they forget it and find it difficult. Also, on the contrary, how many people know the crucifixion all too well and live by its grace?
What is Passover
After Joseph was sent first to escape poverty and famine, and after Jacob and 75 members of his family came down to Egypt, the nation once lived with great welcome and glory. -Slavery begins.
The Passover begins in the wilderness and continues until the coming of Jesus. However, since the real Jesus has come, the shadow is passing, and its spirit and meaning come closer to us stronger.
cross
Just as God sent Moses for the Exodus from Egypt, He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to this earth to save God's people, who have fallen into a wretched place in the world because of sin, from the devil, bearing the burden of our sins, dying on a cross, and burying them in a tomb. It is God's plan of salvation for mankind.
difference and relationship
On the Passover, the Lamb died, and on the cross, Jesus Christ died.
The Passover was lived by the people of Israel, and those who belonged to Christ lived on the cross. At the Passover, we ate bitter herbs and unleaved bread, and at the cross, we ate bread and wine.
The Passover is a shadow that foreshadows the event of the cross, and the cross is the substance that confirms the Passover. The Passover is the promise of the death of the Lamb and the salvation of Israel, and the cross is the fulfillment of the promise.
Christian Victory
The Passover event is decorated with the great victory of Israel in God. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ seemed to end with a great victory between the devil and the lawless, but the resurrection of Jesus was the proclamation of the greatest victory since creation.
Christian victory is in Jesus.
Christians lived on earth in the flesh and blood of the Lamb even in the tribulation of Egypt. I pray that you will stand up and live a strong week with the love of the Lord who washed our sins like scarlet and crimson stained with sin whiter than white snow.
Next week is Thanksgiving Day. God earnestly and sternly asked and commanded the Israelites who had been saved from Egypt in the wilderness. “Once you enter the Promised Land and farm and reap, keep this feast to God.”
