Passover is the most important feast celebrated to God as recorded in the bible. From its origins in Exodus, and by tracing its history throughout the old testament, we can realize just how significant the Passover celebration was. It protected the Israelites against the death of their first born during the tenth and final plague in Egypt. It protected Judah from the Assyrian invasion. It liberated King Josiah and King Hezekiah from disobedience to God by allowing them to destroy all foreign gods. And, it was the reason why the Israelites were sent to Babylon as slaves because of their disobedience and refusal to keep it. All these cases were a direct result of whether the Israelites did or did not keep the Passover.
However, the Apostle Paul mentioned that “what was written in the past was written to teach us…” (Rom 15:4). The Israelite’s faithfulness to the Passover brought them many blessings from God. Then what is the blessing which we can receive in this age?
Jesus Christ celebrated the Passover as the most important example for us. He said he eagerly desired to celebrate the Passover with us before He suffered. It was on this night that Jesus gave us His body and blood and the gift of eternal life. According to His own word, “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life…” (John 6:53).
The blessing of eternal life is given only through the body and blood of Christ which He promised us through the Passover bread and wine. This is the true blessing of obedience which we can receive in this age. The Passover is the truth of life that we Christians must faithfully keep until the end of age.
