✨ Introduction to Passover

Passover is one of the most foundational celebrations in Scripture—a memorial of God’s mighty rescue, His covenant faithfulness, and His desire to dwell with His people. It is an eight‑day celebration that calls God’s people to remember His salvation and to look forward to the greater redemption fulfilled in Jesus, our Passover Lamb.

The very first Passover took place on the night before the Israelites left Egypt. God instructed His people to sacrifice a lamb, mark their doorposts with its blood, and eat the meal in haste, for deliverance was at hand (Exodus 12:1–14). This moment became a type and shadow of what was to come—pointing forward to the Messiah, who would bring a greater exodus by delivering His people from sin and death. As the New Testament declares, “Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed for us” (1 Corinthians 5:7).

Within these eight days are two additional biblical celebrations: the Feast of Unleavened Bread and First Fruits. Each one carries prophetic meaning and foreshadows the work Jesus would accomplish.

  • The Feast of Unleavened Bread reminds us of leaving behind the old life in haste and removing sin from our midst (Exodus 12:15–17; 1 Corinthians 5:8).
  • First Fruits points to resurrection hope, fulfilled when Jesus rose from the dead as “the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep” (1 Corinthians 15:20).

Together, Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits form a rich tapestry of redemption—past, present, and future. They reveal God’s plan, fulfilled in Christ, and invite us to celebrate the freedom He has won.

On this page, you’ll find links to articles, studies, and reflections that explore these themes: the biblical roots of Passover, its prophetic significance, its fulfillment in Jesus, and its ongoing meaning for believers today. May these resources deepen your understanding and stir your heart to worship the God who saves.

“This day shall be for you a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generations.”
— Exodus 12:14
