| Our Father in Heaven: Paid our Debt of Sin. Exodus 12: 1-16: Verse 13 – “The blood will be a sign for you on your houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will Pass Over You”. That was symbolic of Judgment Day: And the Blood of Christ Jesus. Our Passover: Crucifixion and Suffering of the Son of God. Mark 15:12 to 15:39 -Crucify him they shouted. Why what crime has he committed, Asked Pilate? But they shouted all the louder, crucify him! Pilate wanting to satisfy the crowd, had Jesus flogged and handed him over to them to be crucified. The company of soldiers put a purple robe on him; they twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. They began to call on him “Hail, king of the Jews!” Again, and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. After they mocked him, they led him out to be crucified. They nailed him hands and feet to the stake of a tree. The chief priest and teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. At the sixth hour darkness came over the land. And, at the ninth hour with a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last breath. Isaiah 53:1– 12, He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows. He was pierced for our transgressions he was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought us peace (with the Father) was upon him. We all like sheep have gone astray, and God, laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. For the transgressions of my people, he was stricken. He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the Fathers will to crush him and cause him to suffer. Though the Father made his Son a guilt offering. He will see his offspring and prolong his days. The will of the God will prosper in his hands. After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light of life. By his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities. Therefore, I will give him a portion among the great. Because he poured out his life unto death and was numbered with the transgressors. He bore the sins of many and made intercession for them. 1 Corinthians 11:23-29, I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus on the night he was betrayed, took – bread – when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after supper he took the – cup – saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it in remembrance of me.” For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. Therefor whoever drinks the cup in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. A man ought to – examine himself – before he eats this bread and drinks this cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord – Crucified for him – eats and drinks judgment on himself. The food and drink of salvation: John 6:53-56, Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth. Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood – Remains in me and I in him. Verse 63 – The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. How to take the Passover in a worthy manner: Examine yourself by, admitting, because of sin you are subject to death and believe the Fathers promise of mercy and life in Christ Jesus. Accept the cleansing of your sins by the Crucified body and shed blood of Christ Jesus. Be thankful and praise your Father in heaven for His Love and mercy is forever. 1 Corinthians 5:6-11, How to Observe The: Seven days of unleavened bread. “Let us keep the festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth.” For Christ our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. The Apostles and original churches observed the Passover, as instructed by Jesus; and days of unleavened bread, Leviticus 23:1-8. If you do Not hold Sacred God’s Passover: Your resurrection will be a disappointment, Matthew 7:21-23. Humility in practice, foot washing: John 13:1-17 – Jesus poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciple’s feet, drying them with a towel. Now that I your Lord and teacher have washed your feet; you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. Now that you know these things, you will be – blessed – if you do them. Matthew 26:17-29 and Luke 22:14-20 – Jesus is our unleavened bread: Jesus took bread, gave thanks, and broke it, and gave it to his disciples saying, ‘Take eat this is my body’.Then he took the cup, gave thanks, and offered it to them, saying“This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sin.” Our Heavenly Father Paid our debt of Sin by the body and blood of Jesus Christ. God’s Mercy is Forever and Judgment Final, John 5:28-29. Jesus Christ Crucified is Light that shines Beyond the grave! |
