THE BLOOD OF OUR PASSOVER REDEEMS BELIEVERS!

The Word of God makes is very clear that the Feast of Passover was a picture of the future sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.  The Apostle Paul literally called Jesus "our Passover" (1 Cor. 5:7)!  John the Baptizer's identification of Jesus was very specific as well; the Apostle John quoted him as saying:

John 1:29, 36 - "The next day John saw Jesus coming unto him, and said, Behold the Lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the world....And looking upon Jesus as He walked, he said, Behold the Lamb of God!"

Luke referred to the connection when he wrote of Philip's encounter with the eunuch:

Acts 8:32-35 - "The place of the Scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before His shearer, so opened He not His mouth:  in His humiliation His judgment was taken away:  and who shall declare His generation?  For His life is taken from the earth.  And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of Whom (does the Prophet speak)?  Of himself, or of some other man?  Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same Scripture, and preached unto him Jesus."

The Apostle Peter also made the simile clear:

1 Peter 1:17-19 - "And if ye call on the Father, Who without respect of persons judges according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:  forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain (way of life) received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot...."

Finally, in the Book of Revelation, a book known for John's vivid description of Jesus as "the Lion of the Tribe of Judah" (Rev. 5:5 - the only time He is called such in the entire Bible), a book with Jesus described in all His glory throughout its pages, He still has the Apostle John ("The Revelator") identify Him as the Lamb of God twenty-eight times!  [See:  Rev. 5:6, 8, 12, 13; 6:1, 16; 7:9, 10, 14, 17; 12:11; 13:8; 14:1, 4 (twice), 10; 15:3; 17:14 (twice); 19:7, 9; 21:9, 14, 22, 23, 27; 22:1, 3]

IN HUMILITY, HE CAME; HE DIED; AND HIS FATHER RAISED HIM
FROM THE DEAD (Jn. 10:18; Rom. 10:9-10; 1 Cor. 15:3-4; etc.)! 

THAT IS HOW VERY MUCH HE LOVES YOU! 

TURN TO HIM AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR TODAY!
I PROMISE YOU, IT WILL BE THE BEST THANKSGIVING OF YOUR LIFE!
