Our Passover & Unleavened Bread
(Copyright 04-10-2025) by David Antion (Pasadena, California) The Churches of God have traditionally placed emphasis on the death of Christ – observing the “night in which He was betrayed.” We do it “in remembrance” of Him as He instructed (1 Corinthians 11:24) “for as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes” (v. 26 NAS). Editor’s Note:There is nothing in scripture anywhere showing that Christ changed the date of Passover to be celebrated before his death. All Christ did on the night He was betrayed was to introduce the […]

Where Was the Passover Sacrificed?
(Copyright 03-13-2025) by Rod Reynolds (Wentzville, Missouri) Was the Temple in Jerusalem the only Jewish temple in ancient times? Was it acceptable to sacrifice the Passover lambs just anywhere? Was the Passover a “home sacrifice,” as some contend? Correct answers to these questions can help us have a more complete understanding of the history of the Passover institution and how it was administered under the Old Covenant. The Temple in SamariaDuring the latter days of Solomon’s reign, the kingdom of Israel was led into idolatry, as Solomon built “high places” (places of worship) for foreign gods of his wives, and his […]

(Copyright) by John W. Ritenbaugh (Lancaster, South Carolina) Recently in Miami, Florida, a vacationing West Virginian pulled a few crumpled bills from his pocket to tip a valet-parking attendant, mistakenly giving him a thousand dollars! Driving off, he was well on his way back to West Virginia before he discovered what he had done.

Jesus Our Passover
Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) The Crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth marked a turning point in the history of the Jewish people and led to the birth of the church of God forming the spiritual body of Christ. Concerning the death of Jesus, the Lamb of God, the apostle Paul states, “For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us” (I Corinthians 5:7). The term “passover” refers back to the Israelites’ sojourn in Egypt when God commanded them to slay a lamb then put its blood upon the lintel and doorposts of their dwellings. The lamb’s blood would cause the destroyer to […]
Passover
by Arlan Weight (Bismarck, North Dakota) When should we keep it? Should it be observed at the beginning of the 14th of Abib (Nisan), or at the end? Should we observe eight days of unleavened bread or seven. Is the Passover called a Feast? Many people of the churches of God are confused over these questions. Why? Let’s face it. Most, if not all of the people in the ‘church’, have come to observe these days as a result of the preaching and teaching of Herbert W. Armstrong and the Worldwide Church of God. The way and manner is […]
