Bible Question:
Does Passover have a connection with the resurrection? There are many people who are very devout in their celebration of passover, and I would like to know if there is a modern connection. I feel led to remove myself further from the celebration of Easter, which stems from ishtar. All the God-fearing people who celebrate Passover can not be considered as going backwards. Did not Jesus celebrate Passover? |
Bible Answer: Hello sonofmom, The Passover led into Jesus Crucifixion and resurrection! He kept the Passover with the disciples (Matt. 26:17-25). What we celebrate is His Resurrection, the fact that He conquered death and rose victorious over it and sin! As Paul writes in 1 Cor. 15, "But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep" "O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." (NASB) Because He lives, I can face tomorrow and all the trials of life! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
