The Celebration of the Passover Feast :

1. Celebrated the first month of the year — the month of Abib (Deut. 16:1).
2. On the 10th of the month, each family had to take a lamb without blemish and keep under observation until the 14th day for any blemishes or defects. They were to kill the lamb at twilight on the 14th day and eat the Passover meal that night. (Ex. 12:2-6)
3. Jesus was crucified on the 14th day of the month of Abib, year 27-29 A.D. (Calculated by Herod’s death 4 B.C.)
4. The Passover Feast could only be celebrated in Jerusalem. The lamb had to be killed in Jerusalem (Deut. 16:5-7). They had to eat the lamb that night and whatever was left could not be eaten the next day. It had to be burned because it could not remain until the morning. (Deut. 16:4)
5. Jesus was killed in Jerusalem and His body taken down before the next day began. (John 19:38-42)
6. Then they shall eat the flesh on that night; roasted in fire, with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire—its head with its legs and its entrails. Exodus 12:8-9 (NKJV)
7. And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it. (Ex. 12:7) The blood of Jesus on the cross.
8. “For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.” Exodus 12:12
9. The pharaoh was a type of the antichrist and the "executed judgment of God" was a type of the coming wrath of God.
10. “Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.” Exodus. 12:13
11. Born-again believers have not been appointed to wrath, but to obtain salvation:
    • “And to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come. 1 Thessalonians 1:10 (NKJV)
    • “For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Thessalonians 5:9
12. The blood of Jesus has been applied to born-again believers’ sins to wash them. (Revelation 1:5)
13. Jesus’ blood will deliver believers from the coming wrath of God against sin and rebellion. When God judges humanity for its sin, HE will see the blood of Jesus on born-again believers and they will not be condemned. (John 5:24)
14. “Jesus, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us.” 1 Corinthians 5:7
