We have had the first MCC Passover, Finally. I thought it would be a good idea to give you all the verses used, in the Lord’s Table as well as the Passover, so you can have some verses to share with others.
Passover meal
Jesus always started something new, for the NT covenant believers. He internalised the OT teaching, to have more spiritual rather than physical understand, though he did not cancel out the physical. In relation to lust and sex – don’t commit – now don’t look. You have heard it said…but I tell you. Love your neighbour, hate your enemy, I tell you, love your enemy Mth 5: 44. Jesus and the new church changed many things, but people do not understand.
The Jewish day meeting together was the Sabbath Mth 28: 1 – He rose on first day. Collection 1 Cor 16: 2 – Is the day when God’s people take up a collection. It’s a new cultic system. A change from the Jewish to the Christian worship system. Jesus died, at the afternoon, of the Jewish Passover – Day of Preparation. John 13: 1 – The time had come. It was just before the Passover feast, so not yet, the Day itself. verse 2 the evening meal was being served. So, please understand, the meal they all had, was BEFORE the Passover Meal for everyone else. Luke 22: 11. Luke 22: 15. Jesus desired to eat the Passover with his disciples. John 18: 28, 39 – The Passover is coming. John 19: 14. Day of preparation. So, the day of preparation was the 14 Nisan. We have done that. But Jesus, ate first the Passover, special, advance Passover if you will with his disciples on 14 Nisan. All else will eat it the next Day 15 Nisan. John 19: 31 It was the Preparation Day for Everyone else. Preparing and cooking, for tomorrow is no cooking but eating only. Again Jesus changed the meaning of things, if you can understand. It is no longer either the timetable, or the meaning of the Jews, a goat or Lamb. We now have 1 Cor 5: 8 Jesus is our Passover Lamb. A new timetable and way to worship God, and a new Lamb, God incarnate. So, while the Jews are awaiting their Messiah, until now, our messiah, Jesus, the Lamb of God, has died, risen, ascended and lives in his people. Jesus gave new meaning to all. The question is, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
