HERE COMES EASTER, BUT WHAT ABOUT PASSOVER





People forget what the Lord said when He took bread and wine and blessed it, saying, that the bread is His body and the wine is His blood, which is shed for many this is the New Testament.


In other words He was telling us to remember that He died for our sins. So, why is it that people celebrate His resurrection, which He gave no commandment to do? Why do people do “good Friday”, the day that they say the Lord was crucified on? Yet there is no mention at all about the Passover? Is the Passover different from “good Friday”? Yes! When people observe “good Friday” they do nothing at all, but on the Passover, which the Lord commanded us to keep in Leviticus 23:4-5, says, “You shall have a holy convocation”.



Before the Lord came and died on the cross for our sin, we observed the Passover, in its season. Once a year on the 14th day of the first month of the Lord’s calendar, which begins this year on April 7, 2008, this being the month of Nisan.


Turn to Exodus 12:1-28, and you can read how the Passover was instituted by the Lord and how the Lord would pass over your sins when you ate the lamb and put the blood of the lamb over you lintel and two side post of your door, so that when He saw the blood He would pass over your house and not suffer the Destroyer to come into your house to smite you, Exodus 12:21-23.


As you read the 24th verse, you see that this is an ordinance that is to be observed forever. Now when the Lord finally came in the flesh He ended the killing of the lamb on the 14th day at evening because He was the Lamb that would take away our sins, John 1:29, 36.


This is the reason that He changed the ordinance from eating the Lamb on the Passover to eating the bread, which represented His body and the wine which represented His blood, Luke 22:19-21.


When Jesus died on the cross the veil in the Temple was ripped in two, Matthew 27:50-51, that ended the animal sacrifices (only), however, that was not understood immediately. Jesus has taken the place of the lamb that was sacrificed on Passover; He was the final sacrifice, 1 Corinthians 5:7. The Lamb of God was sacrificed for us; this is why we observe the Passover every year in its season.


In most churches, they do communion every month, some more often, instead of once a year as the Lord commanded in 1Corinthians 11:23-26. Jesus said, “As often as you do this, do it in remembrance of Me”, He did not say “do it often”.


So my question is, “What do you do on “good Friday”, the day they say the Lord died? And, whose doctrine is this that Jesus rose on Easter Sunday morning?


Churches all across the world will be holding services on Sunday to celebrate His resurrection. What I want to know is where in the Bible is it written that we are to observe His resurrection on Easter Sunday?


Now, I know that the word Easter appears one (1) time in the Bible, in Acts 12:4, but, this word was used in place of Passover. Also, how did they come up with Jesus being crucified on Friday?


Let us take a look at Mark 15:39-42, here we read that Jesus died, verse :42, the day before the Sabbath. So they incorrectly came up with the non-fact that He must have died on Friday, since Saturday is the Sabbath day, seventh day of the week. What they did not understand is that Sabbath was a High Day, John 19:31. In other words it was a Sabbath Feast day.


Turn to, Leviticus 23:1-2, 4-8, we read about the Lord’s Feasts. As we read the scriptures we see that the Passover was on the 14th day, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread begins on the 15th day and we are commanded to have a holy convocation and also on the seventh day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The first day and the seventh day of the Feast are Sabbath days. However the world knows nothing of the Lord’s Sabbath Days, which are written of in Leviticus 23rd chapter.


If Jesus died on Friday and rose Sunday morning, this is evidently that “other” Jesus written about in 1Corinthians 11:4, because the Lord, Himself, said that He would be in the grave for three (3) days and three (3) nights, Matthew 12:38-40. This was the sign that He gave to an adulterous generation. However the world could not even get this sign right. How do you get three days and three nights from Friday evening to Sunday morning?


So, I ask you, what are you worshipping, or rather, who are you worshipping on “good Friday” and Easter Sunday morning? Friday was not the Passover, the Lord died on the Passover, and Sunday morning He had already risen. Read Matthew 20:1-2, it says Mary came to the sepulcher while it was YET dark, so I ask, “Whose servant are you?” Good Friday is pagan, Jesus did not die on Friday, Easter Sunday morning is pagan, Jesus was already gone!


Now, I ask you, “What day of the week did Jesus die for our sins, and what day did He rise from the grave?” For Jesus has become our Passover, 1Corinthians 5:7 .


We read in Exodus 12:24, that the Passover is an ordinance that we are to keep for ever, in its season, Exodus 13:10, not every first Sunday, or first of the month, but to observe it in its season year to year.


This year the Passover begins on April 19th at sundown to April 20th at sundown.

So if you want to come under the Blood of Jesus Christ, learn how to keep His Passover. You can watch the Passover service on the internet @
