THE PASSOVER FROM MOSES TO CHRIST
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. The Passover From Moses To Christ
a) The first Passover was eaten before the event it commemorated —this was an act of faith. “By faith Moses kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them” (Hebrews 11:28).
2. The Passover In Israel’s History
a) Later in Israel’s history the celebration of the Passover was neglected. However, in the time of the good kings Hezekiah (2 Chronicles 30:1-5) and Josiah, the Passover observance was restored.
b) This Passover was celebrated by "the priests and Levites, all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem" (2 Chronicles 35:17-19).
"Certainly such a Passover was not kept since the days of the judges who judged Israel, not in all the days of the kings of Israel and Judah" (2 Kings 23:1-23).
c) After the captivities, when the remnant returned to rebuild Jerusalem, and the temple was rebuilt, the Passover was once again revived, and "the children of the captivity kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month... And they kept the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with joy." (Ezra 6:19-22).
3. The Passover In Jesus’s Time
a) In the time of Jesus, the Passover was a big event attracting thousands of devout people from all over the world. Jesus’s death occurred at the time of the Passover.
“The Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near which is called the Passover. And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill Jesus...” (Luke 22:1-2).
b) Jesus himself predicted that he would be on his way to death at Passover time. “You know that after two days it will be Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified” (Matthew 26:2).
