CHRIST OUR PASSOVER

EXODUS 12



Pastor Rick Jackson



1 Corinthians 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:



The passover is a defining moment in Israel's history. It marked the beginning of a new calendar for them, it set the tone for them as a nation, it points back to a milestone and forward to the Rock of Ages, the Lord Jesus Christ. For the Passover to mean something significant in our lives we learn several truths in Exodus 12.
