In the New Testament, who commanded us to keep the Passover and what was the result?
In Matthew 26:17-19, 26-28, Jesus Christ and his disciples prepared for and celebrated the Passover. However, the Passover is no longer celebrated by slaughtering a one year perfect lamb. Jesus Christ is the Passover lamb! (1 Corinthians 5:7). On the Passover which is kept at the appointed time on January 14th at twilight by sacred calendar, Jesus gives his flesh and blood thru the Passover bread and wine. Thru Jesus Christ flesh and blood given on the Passover, He promised us the forgiveness of sins and eternal life! We need the forgiveness of sins because according to Romans 6:23, the wages of sin is death". Our payment for sin is death. No one in this world lives forever. However, Jesus promised us the forgiveness of sins on the Passsover. Therefore, if there is no more sin, then thre is no more death! What only remains is eternal life. We receive freedom from slavery of sin and death! (John 8:34). Let's confirm again, that we receive eternal life thru the Passover. In John 6:53, 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." We receive Jesus' body and blood if we partake in the Passover which gives us the promise of eternal life. What a great result! We receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life thru the Passover! Where does God want to lead us? to have eternal life on earth? Three has to be something more....
