"Passover??For Christians?? For ME?? NO way - that's only a JEWISH thing!"so you say.We invite you to take a second look. First off, all the first earlybelievers in Jesus, whether they were Jewish or Gentiles, celebrated notonly Passover, but ALL the other Biblical Feasts (i.e. Trumpets,Tabernacles, Passover, Pentecost - and even the Sabbath on the 7th day!) So whathappened?
In the 4th century, the Roman Emperor Constantine decreed theseGodly dates illegal, and severely persecuted any believer caught observingany of them. In order to give believers something to commemorate, heinvented Advent, Christmas, Lent, Good Friday, Easter, and the Sunday Sabbath. Being a political leader, he randomly drew his ideas from paganfestivals and deities, and doctored them up so that they were palatable andinoffensive. He also boldly changed the Biblical names of the days, months,and years, adjusting all these to the solar calendar rather than the Biblical lunar one - even though scriptures warn us not to tamper with God'sset times which would result in a curse. With the passing of time, thesechanges became easier, and then a habit, and then tradition, and nowaccepted as the gospel truth and a way of life.
This unembarrassed strayingaway from the truth has left most Christians not realizing this error. Soattached are we to Constantine's festivals that most believers can not andwill not emerge out of them, nor see the tremendous lessons in the feastsGod has ordained! Yeshua is woven into every one of them - loud andstrong!Now that's the history.
So let's retrace our steps: Passover was thecelebration that commemorated the ancient Israelites coming out of thebondage of Egypt and its cruel taskmaster, Pharaoh. The Psalmist Davidrecorded that it is good to "joy in another's joys". If it were not forGod's profound interventionfor the Israelites there would have been noMessiah, as the blood line would have been cancelled through which Yeshuawas born centuries later.
To bring it home to us, we can see that Pharaoh isa symbol of Satan, and the Israelites are we who have been gloriouslybrought out of his domainthrough faith in the Messiah, Yeshua HaMashiach.Their Canaan has become OUR Heaven! In short, we have passed from death untolife!
The same God Who brought the Jews out of Egypt with a strong rightarm, has just as supernaturally brought US out of the power of sin and evilthrough the atoning blood of Yeshua. Regard this as the bigger miracle! Bycelebrating Passover, this is a chance to enjoy a multiple spiritual NEWBIRTHday party!!
At this Passover celebration, you will discover preciousnew insight into this most ancient of all the Biblical feasts - a doorwayinto observing ALL of them as your yearly cycle of worship to the King ofall kings! It will be honoured with much beautiful pageantry, revelatoryexplanations and teaching, delicious food, and close fellowship - with theLord and your fellow brothers and sister seated at your table.
Celebrating the Biblical feasts is a worldwide awakening reflected in Christians livingin every country throughout God's kingdom on earth right now. This is partof the preparation of the Body of Christ for the Messiah's imminent return.Why not be a part of what God is doing?
