Passover, Easter, or Both?

About this episode

This episode clarifies the significance of Passover and Easter, exploring their historical and spiritual connections.

We do NOT want to erase history, good or bad. However there are a few holes to patch to bring clarity to an historic event. The purpose of this episode is to clear up the confusion about why Jews celebrate Passover every spring while Christians celebrate Easter. Is this how God planned the calendar? Or was God's intention to unite Jews and Gentiles instead of further dividing them as history has sadly recorded? On the night of Passover, when God saw the blood of the lamb on the doorposts of the Hebrew slaves' homes, He delivered them from the cruelty of slavery. That night was to be remembered and celebrated for all generations in every Jewish home. Fifteen centuries later it was celebrated by a group of Jewish disciples, led by Jesus, whom they called Yeshua. From that night on until eternity, people everywhere can celebrate with even greater intention because on that Passover, Yeshua became the Lamb of God, slain before the foundation of the world, to free all who believe in Him from the slavery of sin. We can't change history, but we can make corrections as we move forward and follow the Lamb.
