PASSOVER – Yes, Christians should be observing the Festival
This Teaching argues that Pesach and the connected spring appointed times belong to Yehovah, not exclusively to one modern religious community, and therefore deserve the attention of those following Yeshua. The speaker begins with Genesis 1:14 and Leviticus 23, discussing the Hebrew terms for appointed times and holy convocations. He follows the first-month sequence of Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits through Exodus 12 and Leviticus 23, and connects the selection of an unblemished lamb, removal of leaven, and offering of first fruits with Yeshua’s entry into Jerusalem, suffering, burial, and resurrection. He discusses Jubilee imagery from Leviticus 25, Isaiah 61, and Luke 4, and contrasts the Passover meal of Luke 22 with familiar church communion practice. The closing discussion offers ways to remember Yehovah’s deliverance with family and children, whether through a traditional seder or a simpler fellowship meal, while recognizing that observance and understanding develop over time.
