Why is the observance of the Passover important for Christians?
Answered in 2 sources
The observance of the Passover is important for Christians as it symbolizes Christ's sacrifice and God's deliverance from sin.
While Christians do not observe the Passover in the Old Testament sense, its significance remains in understanding Christ's atoning work. The Passover foreshadows the cross, where Jesus' blood covers our sins and delivers us from spiritual death. Observing the Lord's Supper is our remembrance of this ultimate sacrifice. In Exodus 12:14, God commanded the Israelites to keep this feast as a perpetual memorial, which now finds its fulfillment in the breaking of bread and the drinking of wine in the New Testament church, pointing to the reality of Christ's finished work on the cross.
