In the Old Testament we read that the Jews were instructed to sacrifice a pure lamb for consumption and remove all leaven from their houses (Ex 12). Today we have a new and permanent Paschal Lamb, slain for us, and we must cleanse out the leaven of sin from within.
1 Corinthians 5
7. Take away, then, the old leaven, so that you may be a new mass, even as you are without leaven. For Christ has been put to death as our Passover.
8. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
The Bible clearly indicates in the New Testament that Christ is the New Pascha for believers in Him, and that this new passover is to be celebrated by Christians.
As the blood of the sacrificial lamb was a mark for death to pass over the Hebrew's home in Exodus, similarly the blood of the Lamb in the new Covenant guards our hearts and brings us eternal life.
Consequently the celebration of Christ's Resurrection became our first Christian Feast - the Christian Pascha.
Thank You Jesus!
