Eating with Urgency – Exodus 12:1-14

Pastor Hans Peters

Eating with Urgency – Exodus 12:1-14 Passover was a holiday designed to celebrate Israel’s deliverance from Egypt and to remind the people of what God had done. In killing the lamb, the Israelites shed innocent blood. From this point on, the Hebrew people would clearly understand that for them to be spared from death, an innocent life had to be sacrificed in their place. And so, in a sense the first Passover resembles Jesus’ Last Supper. For us as Christians, the occasion of the Passover meal naturally reminds us of Jesus' Last Supper. Even in New Testament times, the earliest Christians had already begun to identify Jesus as "our paschal lamb."
