Jesus - Our Passover Lamb

Today’s Through the Bible Reading: Mark 14:12-21; Matthew 26:17-25; Luke 22:7-18; Luke 22:21-30; John 13:1-30

And He said to them, ‘I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.’ Luke 22:15-16 ESV

The disciples, who had celebrated the Jewish feasts year after year, were experiencing the actual fulfillment of the Passover they had so faithfully celebrated all their lives, though they didn’t realize it at the time. Jesus, however, knew what He was about to go through. With every symbolic act of that Passover meal, He understood that He was the Sacrificial Lamb who fulfilled its promise (1 Cor. 5:7; John 1:29-36).
