1In the first month of the second year after Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, the LORD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai: 2“The Israelites are to observe the Passover at its appointed time. 3You are to observe it at the appointed time, at twilight on the fourteentha day of this month, in accordance with its statutes and ordinances.”
Our Passover!
“For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us.” 1 Corinthians 5:7.
“Let us behold our Savior Jesus as the Paschal Lamb on which we feed, yea, let us not only look at Him as such, but let us sit down tonight at His table, let us eat of His flesh and drink of His blood, for His flesh is meat indeed, and His blood is drink indeed. In holy solemnity let our hearts approach that ancient supper, let us go back to Egypt’s darkness, and by holy contemplation behold, instead of the destroying angel, the angel of the covenant, at the head of the feast—“The Lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world.” (Spurgeon)
