If you are unsure what Bible passages to focus on today, Today is the first day of Passover, and we recommend it as a good time to listen to Scripture describing how it came to be.
Passover is a time of reflection and celebration, marking the liberation of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage. The holiday's name reflects the poignant story of how the angel of death "passed over" the homes of the Israelites, sparing their firstborn sons while bringing sorrow upon Egyptian families who were not protected.
You can listen to the narrative in Exodus 12 to really grasp the significance of this momentous event.
Indeed, Passover observance endures to this day, but have you pondered its deeper connection to the New Testament? It's fascinating how the traditions of Passover intertwine with the accounts of Jesus's final days, leading up to the crucifixion.
For a more profound understanding, listen to the Gospels (and Jesus' own words) on the significance of Passover. Listen to Matthew 26 and Mark 14 to specifically shed light on how Jesus's ultimate sacrifice parallels the ancient Passover. You'll learn that Jesus' last supper took place during this holiday.
Then, take a moment to contemplate the enduring legacy of the Passover. How does this pivotal chapter in Exodus enhance our comprehension of the Last Supper and its lasting implications?
