“A final look at the Passover Week”
1. The Original Passover
Exodus 12:13
Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
This is the foundation. Passover began with God’s deliverance, the covering of the blood, and the rescue of His people.
2. Jesus revealed as a Lamb
John 1:29
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
Here John identifies Jesus as the fulfillment of the Passover Lamb. The One this entire feast points to.
3. Jesus keeps the Passover with His disciples
Luke 22:15-16
Then He said to them,
“With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer, for I say to you, I will no longer eat of it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
This Scripture anchors His timeline and shows that his final week is tied directly to Passover.
4. The Fulfillment
1 Corinthians 5:7
Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.
Here Paul makes it unmistakably clear that Jesus is the Passover Lamb.
5. The sign of His death and Resurrection
Matthew 12:40
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Here Jesus explains the three days and three nights.
The prophetic sign of His burial and Resurrection, which aligns with the Passover week timeline.
6. The Lamb who was slain
Isaiah 53:7
He was opressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its sheered is silent, So He opened not His mouth.
This prophecy captures the heart of His sacrifice during Passover week.
Jesus Suffered, Jesus died,
Jesus was buried, Jesus Rose, and Jesus concord death.
And life is worth the living just because He lives. ❤️
As this Passover week comes to a close, my heart is full. I have spent these days remembering the Lamb, tracing the footsteps of Jesus through His final week, and letting Scripture, not tradition shape my understanding of what this season is truly about.
I want to share something personal.
It took me years to understand this.
For a long time, I celebrated the bunny, the eggs, and all the things the world wraps around this season. I did not know any different.
I was not trying to ignore God, I simply did not yet see what Scripture actually teaches about this appointed time.
But as I studied the Word, my eyes and my heart were gently opened.
He showed me that this season is not about symbols of spring or man‑made traditions.
It is about the Passover Lamb—Jesus—who gave His life at the exact time the Passover lambs were being slain. It is about deliverance, redemption, and the fulfillment of God’s perfect plan.
I want to be clear that
I am not condemning anyone who is not where I am.
I am not judging those who celebrate differently.
I am simply sharing the Truth I found in Scripture and the joy that came with understanding all of it.
Passover is a memorial of God’s faithfulness.
A reminder of the blood that Jesus shed that saves.
A celebration of our Ultimate Passover Lamb.
The ending of all Sacrifice because of Him.
And this is what I choose to honor during this time of year.
Oh, how God loves us that He gave His only begotten Son ❤️
Dear Father in heaven,
Thank You for the gift of Your Son, our Passover Lamb.
Thank You for opening our eyes, softening our hearts, and leading us into Truth with patience and love.
As we close this Passover week, let the meaning of this season settle deeply within us.
The sacrifice, the deliverance, the redemption, and the hope we have because of Jesus.
Bless every person who reads these words.
Meet them where they are.
Draw them closer to Your heart.
Give them understanding, peace, and a hunger for Your Word.
Let Your truth shine gently, clearly, and powerfully in their lives.
May we honor You, Father.
May we remember the Lamb, Jesus Christ our Savior.
And may we give You all the glory.
In Jesus precious name, Amen.
Have a beautiful, blessed Sabbath
God loves you ❤️
and so do I ❤️
