Passover is a profound observance centered on Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God, slain for the sins of the world, embodying a human sacrifice of the most sublime quality. It prepares us spiritually to participate in the rest of God's plan as outlined by the holy days, demanding significant personal preparation. The cup during the Passover service symbolizes the blood Jesus spilled in sacrificing His life, sealing God's agreement of salvation with us, certifying His promise to justify us for salvation. Understanding Christ's sacrifice properly determines the quality of our observance of Passover. To prevent taking it in a careless and unappreciative manner, we are charged to examine ourselves, discerning the Lord's body. This self-examination involves seriously reviewing our spiritual and moral failures in contrast to the perfect glory of our Savior, Jesus Christ, who lived without committing even one sin. Despite this focus on self, the emphasis at Passover remains on the payment for our sins through Christ's sacrifice, not on ourselves, concentrating on the most elementary precepts of our salvation and the part Jesus Christ plays in it. Passover's purpose is not just to remember historical events but to grasp the point of Christ's death. If we fail to comprehend its meaning, we are more likely to treat His death unworthily. Our grateful participation in eating and drinking the symbols enables our sins to be paid, driving us to it out of awareness of sin rather than keeping us from it. The theme of Passover is the awesome cost of salvation, manifested in the sinless sacrifice of Jesus Christ, whose sinlessness was not mechanical but filled with sympathy, empathy, compassion, kindness, and concern for the helpless slaves of sin. This should evoke revulsion that our sins caused such an injustice as His death, while also inspiring appreciation, indebtedness, and thanksgiving by departing from sin.
