Passover for the Church

This morning I was praying and preparing to get ready for Passover meal tonight at sunset. It is April 5th 2023 today but on God’s calendar it is the 14th of Nisan when the sun sets. It’ll be the 14th of Nisan all the way till tomorrow night at sunset. God’s days go from evening to evening and not from morning to morning.

As I sat to pray I heard the Lord say to me…”I long to share this meal with you…”

Now that is Luke 22.15 where He told the disciples “ I desire with desire to share this meal with with you, before I suffer”.

Bit here is the wonderful thing: He said it to me too. I have been celebrating Passover with my family for 11 years now. We do not recognize easter. Passover is the celebration of His work on the cross. The first church kept this feast and not anything called easter, which is pagan.

He has been saying the same thing to anyone who would hear for millennia. No one, or few hear. Unbelieving Jews celebrate a dead Passover on the wrong day. The church has gone after the pagan easter idol.

So the most important day in the universe goes by unnoticed by most. But oh how He longs with great longing to share it with believers at sunset on the 14th of Nisan…before He suffers.

Tomorrow at noon will still be the 14th of Nisan. It is the actual time Jesus was crucified for our sins. On the day He did it God set the sun at noon in order to fulfill the law which said the Passover lamb had to be slain at sundown. So He was.

Jesus both shared the Passover meal with His disciples on the 14th at sundown, and He was the Passover Lamb slain at sundown on the 14th of Nisan, when God caused the sun to go dark at noon.

He will be there with us tonight as we share the Passover meal with Him tonight in my house.

Thank You Lord,

Amen.
