“For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us” (1 Corinthians 5:7).
You will remember that the first passover was kept in Egypt, when the Israelites had to put blood on the doors of their houses, so that the Lord would not enter that night and destroy the firstborn in that house. They were to keep that passover every year, as a remembrance of their deliverance from being slaves in Egypt.
You and I have a much greater deliverance, for Christ was the true passover, and the passover kept in the Old Testament was only a picture of His death on Calvary’s cross. Now we no longer keep the passover, but the Lord Jesus has asked us to remember Him. We are not to do this only once a year, but every Lord’s day. The Lord Jesus appreciates it when we remember Him in His death, as He has asked us to do.
