Passover is it for you?

As many around the world are preparing and celebrating Easter, Gods people are called to a different form of worship, a narrow way that is rarely taught in our assemblies today.

Exodus 12:3 “Speak to all the community of Israel, saying, ‘On the tenth of this month, they will each take for themselves a lamb for the family, a lamb for the household.”

First we must note that the Yahweh is speaking with Israel the entire community of Israel, this is for us today, at least if we are called by the name of Jesus.

Some will say we are gentiles we are not Israel we are not Jews we have no part in this, do not let satan deceive your hearts brethren, as Moses stood before the congregation preaching the word that brought life to be an example to bring us to obedience to Christ , this same word is preached this day, a word of deliverance and repentance as Apostle Paul says in

Romans 11:13-23 “Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Therefore, inasmuch as I am apostle to the Gentiles, I promote my ministry, if somehow I may provoke my people to jealousy and save some of them. For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean except life from the dead? Now if the first fruits are holy, so also is the whole batch of dough, and if the root is holy, so also are the branches. Now if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although you were a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them and became a sharer of the root of the olive tree’s richness, do not boast against the branches. But if you boast against them, you do not support the root, but the root supports you. Then you will say, “Branches were broken off in order that I could be grafted in.” Well said! They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand firm because of faith. Do not think arrogant thoughts, but be afraid. For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither…”

Ephesians 2:8-22 “For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God; it is not from works, so that no one can boast. For we are his creation, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, so that we may walk in them.

This grace is given so we forget not our call to the love obedience found only through His word, As he says if we love Him keep his commandments, and they are not grievous but the very words of life. All creation was created for a purpose and a function of worship to our king, we also after the same manner are ordained through His word for Good works which God prepared for us to walk in before Him. Not of our works lest any man should boast but these are the foreordained works given to man to release His heavenly government on earth.

Passover is an act of this love, an expression the Lord Himself has provided for us as worship. This is not a mere earthly observance, but a spiritual work of patterns learned from heaven designed to be taught from generation to generation and from nation to nation that His government may be sustained in the land. Jesus our passover lamb is after not only individual hearts but the corporate heart of the body.

As Apostle Paul says;

1 Corinthians 5:7–8 LEB

Clean out the old leaven in order that you may be a new batch of dough, just as you are unleavened. For Christ our Passover has been sacrificed. So then, let us celebrate the feast, not with the old leaven or with the leaven of wickedness and sinfulness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

This obedience was given by Christ for all those that call upon His name to walk in them, Passover is an act of worship and obedience to our King

Jude 1:11-12 These men are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm—shepherds who feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted—twice dead. 13 They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever.

The Holy Bible: King James Version, Electronic Edition of the 1900 Authorized Version. (Bellingham, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 2009), Jud 12–13.

Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, the so-called uncircumcision by the so-called circumcision in the flesh, made by hands, that you were at that time apart from Christ, alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, not having hope, and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you, the ones who once were far away, have become near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who made both one and broke down the dividing wall of the partition, the enmity, in his flesh, invalidating the law of commandments in ordinances, in order that he might create the two in himself into one new man, thus making peace, and might reconcile both in one b…”
