Who became our Passover and what does this mean to you today><>?

It means a lot. I have tried to pin down the exact day, plus I also celebrate on the yearly traidtional Jewish Passover dates and drink the wine and eat unleavened bread and herbs and have some meat and remember Jesus as he asked us to.

no, david, jesus did not "fulfill the passover."

There are a number of requirements for a sacrifice to be valid or it is completely disqualified and will be an abomination to G-d. These requirements are as follows:

1. The sin offering must be brought forth by the person seeking atonement, and slaughtered either by the sinner or by the priest.

2. Death must be caused by a sharp, perfect blade cutting across the neck, resulting in blood loss and swift death.

3. The offering must be physically unblemished.

4. In the case of mammal offerings (bulls, lambs, etc.) the offering must be less than one year old.

5. In the case of mammal offerings, the mammal must have cloven hooves and chew cud.

6. The sacrifice must be brought at the Temple

7. The sacrifice must have its blood taken by a priest and sprinkled on the altar.

8. The sacrifice must be salted.

jesus was not sacrificed by the sinner or the priest, jesus was crucified and didn't die by a blade to the neck (the kosher method of slaughter), jesus was not unblemished because according to biblical accounts he had been whipped and beaten and on top of that he would have holes in his body from the crucifixion, jesus was not less than a year old, jesus did not have hooves or chew cud, jesus's sacrifice did not happen at the temple (the ONLY place a sacrifice is EVER allowed by G-d), jesus did not have his blood sprinkled on the altar by priests, and jesus was not salted.

oh, and also G-d DESPISES human sacrifice. he definitely would not do it himself.

There was only one Passover. No need to try to make up another one.

We're better off learning what we can of the events that took place during the original and giving it value on its own merits.

Passover is the Jewish holiday which celebrates the Exodus from Egypt. It is not a Christian concept.

Jesus became our Passover Lamb who was sacrificed so we could have forgiveness of sin and be redeemed from hell and destruction and have eternal life.

Jesus is our passover lamb. All of the major feasts point to Jesus.

Jesus took death upon Himself on the cross. That's why we Christians don't celebrate Passover. Jesus was the sacrificial lamb dying for all of mankind.

The institution of the Eucharist

1337 The Lord, having loved those who were his own, loved them to the end. Knowing that the hour had come to leave this world and return to the Father, in the course of a meal he washed their feet and gave them the commandment of love.163 In order to leave them a pledge of this love, in order never to depart from his own and to make them sharers in his Passover, he instituted the Eucharist as the memorial of his death and Resurrection, and commanded his apostles to celebrate it until his return; "thereby he constituted them priests of the New Testament."164

1338 The three synoptic Gospels and St. Paul have handed on to us the account of the institution of the Eucharist; St. John, for his part, reports the words of Jesus in the synagogue of Capernaum that prepare for the institution of the Eucharist: Christ calls himself the bread of life, come down from heaven.165

1339 Jesus chose the time of Passover to fulfill what he had announced at Capernaum: giving his disciples his Body and his Blood:

Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the passover lamb had to be sacrificed. So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the passover meal for us, that we may eat it. . . ." They went . . . and prepared the passover. And when the hour came, he sat at table, and the apostles with him. And he said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer; for I tell you I shall not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.". . . . And he took bread, and when he had given thanks he broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me." And likewise the cup after supper, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the New Covenant in my blood."166

1340 By celebrating the Last Supper with his apostles in the course of the Passover meal, Jesus gave the Jewish Passover its definitive meaning. Jesus' passing over to his father by his death and Resurrection, the new Passover, is anticipated in the Supper and celebrated in the Eucharist, which fulfills the Jewish Passover and anticipates the final Passover of the Church in the glory of the kingdom.

Jesus fulfilled the passover.

The passover Lamb was to be perfect without a mark (like Jesus)

It was to be hung over the doorpost for 4 days so the family gets to know their sacrififce personally (like we know Jesus personally)

The lamb was to be killed at 3pm...Jesus died at 3pm.

The lamb covered all sins...as Jesus did.

After He died, the temple came down, this is where lambs were sacrificed. There is now no more need.

I know Jews who heard this and came to their knees, accpeting Jesus.

I would say its Jesus.

Jesus, through His death and resurrection, I have been saved from spiritual death (like the blood on the door sills that caused the angel of death to by-pass that house). What does it mean to me? Everything.
