INTRO.
Good morning everyone.
Happy Easter to you all.
We are so glad that you chose to join us this morning here at The Ridge - RBC.
Today we are going to be starting a new series of messages, however it will be slightly organized in a different way that most series are organized in there sequence and time frame that they are presented.
In this series we are going to be exploring together the Seven Feasts of Isreal.
1.
The Feast of Passover (Today’s Message)
2. The Feast of Unleaven Bread
3. The Feast of First Fruits
4. The Feast of Penecost or also know as the Feast of Weeks.
5.
The Feast of Trumpets
6.
The Feast of Atonement
7. The Feast of Tabernacles
Now how this series is going to work is this, we are going to explore each of these feast as these feast are celebrated and observed on God’s Calendar which is a lunar calendar based on the phases of the moon.
The first 4 feast happen within 50 days of each other starting in March-April depending on the moon phase.
Thus Passover always falls on a full moon - the first full moon of spring (usually April).
So guess what Passover started yesterday Sat.
April 20, 2019, which is also so happens to be the Jewish Sabbath day.
Christ Our Passover Lamb is the title to today message.
My goal and aim this morning is to show within the scriptures God’s ultimate plan of salvation for a fallen sinful world.
And how the Passover Feast as well as all the Feasts of Israel are a sign or foreshadow of Christ and what He will accomplish bring about on earth as well as in heaven.
But before I do that we need to set the stage just little bit so we can get a better understanding of the text that we will be exploring this morning.
The book of Exodus tells of the origin of Passover.
God promised His people to redeem them from the bondage of Pharaoh (Exodus 6:6).
God sent Moses to the Egyptian king with the command that Pharaoh “let my people go” (Exodus 8:1).
When Pharaoh refused, God brought ten plagues on the land of Egypt.
The tenth and worst of the plagues was the death of all the firstborn in Egypt.
The night of the first Passover was the night of the tenth plague.
On that fateful night, God told the Israelites to sacrifice a spotless lamb and mark their doorposts and lintels with its blood (Exodus 12:21–22).
Then, when the Lord passed through the nation, He would “pass over” the households that showed the blood (verse 23).
In a very real way, the blood of the lamb saved the Israelites from death, as it kept the destroyer from entering their homes.
The Israelites were saved from the plague, and their firstborn children stayed alive.
The children of Israel in Egypt followed God’s command and kept the first Passover.
However, none of the Egyptians did so.
All through Egypt, behind the unmarked, bloodless doorways of the Egyptians, the firstborn children died at midnight (Exodus 12:21–29).
This dire judgment finally changed the Egyptian king’s heart, and he released the Israelite slaves (verses 31–32).
Along with the instruction to apply the Passover lamb’s blood to their doorposts and lintels, God instituted a commemorative meal: fire-roasted lamb, bitter herbs, and unleavened bread (Exodus 12:8).
The Lord told the Israelites to “observe this rite as a statute for you and for your sons forever” (Exodus 12:24, ESV).
Now lets take a closer look at the First Passover and see how the Passover was a foreshadowing of what Christ would do for those who would place their faith in Him.
The Passover is to commemorate God’s deliverance of Israel from Egypt.
Due to the importance of Passover, the month in which it occurred was to mark the beginning of the Hebrew calendar (v.
2).
On the tenth day of Abib each family was to select a lamb that was a year old.
It was to be male “without defect” (v.
5).
Lets stop right there and begin showing how the events of the first passover and how it reflects and foreshadows the bondage of us in our sins, the promise of the Messiah, and the deliverance from our sin.
1.
The Bondage
Israel slaves to Egypt
Man slaves to sin
2. The Lamb
a.
The first Passover lamb is given
b.
Christ is our Passover Lamb
Which now leads us to the third revelation of what the Feast of Passover truly means for us all.
3. The Deliverance
Israel marked their houses with the blood of the lamb.
The Christian marks his/her house with the blood of Christ.
marked by the blood
LEADING UP TO COMMUNION
The Passover (Easter) is the feast of salvation from sin
For the Hebrews it was deliverance from bondage (Exodus 12), and for the Christian, deliverance from sin
Jesus was sacrificed on Passover (1 Corinthians 5:7)
The Jews marked their houses with the blood of the lamb, and the Christian marks his house, the door post of our hearts with the blood of Christ.
We do not keep the feast in remembrance of the exodus from Egypt, since that was a shadow of the greater redemption to come.
We take communion, a part of the original Passover feast, in remembrance of the Lord
