OUR PASSOVER LAMB
by

(Adapted from John 18:1-14; 19:9, 29-31 / 1 Corinthians 5:7)
“Hail, King of the Jews!” His own people were screaming at Him and striking Him. They twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head. They threw a purple cloak around Him. “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” Their shouts were loud and hateful.
It was the day of preparation for the Passover Feast. In their homes, the Jewish people should have been preparing a lamb to be eaten at their table, with their family. Little did they know that they were preparing a lamb, the Passover Lamb for all eternity. They would never be required to slay a lamb for a sacrifice again. Jesus was about to become their Passover Lamb.
Lord, why did Your own people reject You? I know that prophecy had to be carried out and fulfilled but Your very own people fulfilled it. It would have been different if you had been crucified through the hands of the enemy. Is that why you are truly their Passover Lamb?
My child, they did not know or understand the statement of Scripture that I must die and rise again from the dead. My death, My blood and My love covered all of their ignorance of these things. I was their Passover Lamb. I did many other things for them but these things are recorded in order that you may believe that I am the Anointed One, the Son of God. If you will believe and cleave to and trust this, I will be your Passover Lamb. I will make your house a home. I am the door to all provision for salvation and every need that you have. You are blessed and happy because you believe and trust this.

JESUS OUR PASSOVER LAMB
Devotion: Our Passover Lamb
(Adapted from John 18:1-14; 19:9, 29-31)
Verse 1
The very first Passover Feast there was a lamb for a house
They took that little lamb into their home for four days
Slew the lamb and with hyssop,
Placed the blood on their upper and side posts
Verse 2
The very first Passover Feast
Families standing round their tables
While a lamb roasted in fire to be eaten in haste
Nothing can waste for this is the Lord’s Passover
Chorus
Jesus our Passover Lamb, You never leave us alone
Jesus our Passover Lamb, You make our house a home
Verse 3
During the Passover Feast priests were slaying lambs in the temple
While a man crucified cried, ‘It is finished’
The veil in the temple rent in twain for me and you
