The sacrificial death and resurrection of Christ Jesus are central to the message of the Holy Bible. The Cross of Christ Jesus brings together the Old Testament sacrifices with the New Testament’s truth and grace.[1]Through His life, death, and resurrection, Christ Jesus fulfilled the Jewish sacrificial system, the Levitical priesthood, and many Old Testament prophecies. Christ Jesus brought the world salvation, atonement, holiness, new spiritual life, and forgiveness.[2] Heaven’s abundant blessings and grace come to us through repentance—turning from Satan’s sinful and selfish living—and through faithful living with obedience to Christ Jesus as our Savior and eternal High Priest.[3] The Cross gives the world its only hope of salvation and unity with the living Sovereign LORD God of heaven.[4]
- Gospel Message of Jesus
The Gospel (Good News) message about Christ Jesus is summed up in the Cross.[5] On Calvary’s Cross, Christ Jesus quietly submitted, suffered, and died as the final sin offering and ransom. Christ Jesus atoned for the sins of the world as the spotless and sinless Passover Lamb of God, as predicted by Old Testament prophecy.[6] Significantly, Christ Jesus bore our sins, wounds, and shame in His holy body on Calvary’s Cross. Christ Jesus did this so that everyone would repent and turn from Satan’s dark and selfish living. In turn, we are called to repent and live holy and righteous lives for God’s glory and honor. Through Christ Jesus’s sacrifice, we receive salvation (healing), redemption, and forgiveness.[7]
The story does not end with Christ Jesus’s death and burial. Here is the Good News: Christ Jesus rose from complete death on the third day, as predicted by Old Testament prophecy. He rose by His Holy Father’s power through the Holy Spirit of God.[8] Christ Jesus’s bodily resurrection was witnessed by many individuals. These included Simon Peter (Cephas), the other apostles, and more than 500 brothers and sisters. Mary Magdalene and the Apostle Paul also witnessed and testified to Christ Jesus’s risen life and bodily resurrection from the grave.[9]
By Christ Jesus’s sacrificial death and then His resurrection from death, we received God’s salvation, new spiritual life, and redemption from Satan’s sin and sickness through our repentance and faithful living in Christ Jesus as Lord.[10] Christ Jesus’s death and resurrection signaled the beginning of the new creation with the Resurrected Christ Jesus ruling and reigning by His Father’s right hand in heaven with all power and authority as Lord and Savior.[11] The living Sovereign LORD God of heaven and earth (Adonai) raised His Son Christ Jesus from the dead and exalted His Son to His right hand as Lord and Savior of the world.[12]
- Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread
Christ Jesus’s sinless life, sacrificial death, and resurrection fulfilled the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread celebrations of the Old Testament.[13] Exodus chapters 12 and 13 explain the importance of these festivals.[14] The Israelites celebrated deliverance and redemption with a family dinner. Their main course was a perfect, spotless Passover lamb without blemish, along with unleavened bread (bread without yeast, hametz) and bitter herbs.[15] A perfect lamb was killed and sacrificed at twilight on the fourteenth day of Abib (Aviv-Nisan), in March or April, and then roasted as the LORD’s Passover.[16] None of the Passover lamb’s bones was to be broken.[17] The Passover lamb’s blood was spread across the doorframes of each family’s home. This protected the family from the living Sovereign LORD God's destroying plague.[18] On the fifteenth day of Abib, the Israelites ate unleavened bread for seven days. This bread represented their affliction when leaving slavery in haste.[19] The Israelites were commanded to remove all leaven (yeast) from their homes.[20]
In the Old Testament, the living Sovereign LORD God of the heavens and earth (Adonai) proclaimed to the Israelites (also known as Jews or Hebrews) through His servants Moses and Aaron that He would pass through the land of Egypt at midnight and strike all the firstborn in the land, both human and beast (livestock), and also destroy with judgment all the false gods of Egypt.[21] Notably, the book of Exodus declared to the Egyptians and the world that Adonai (Yahweh, also known as the LORD) is the only true and living God Almighty of the heavens and earth.[22] During Passover, Adonai defeated the false gods of Egypt with His miraculous signs and wonders, and with His mighty arm and outstretched hand, delivering His firstborn son, Israel, from slavery and bondage as He had promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.[23]
Here is the Good News: Adonai declared that He would pass over and not destroy the homes with His destroying plague when He sees the blood sacrifice of the Passover lamb over their two doorposts and lintels.[24] The living Sovereign LORD God promised to protect and “pass over” the home that was under the sign of the Passover lamb’s blood.[25] The Passover lamb’s blood symbolized a sacrifice offered as a substitute for the lamb’s life given to save another’s life and forgive sins.[26]
Since the great Exodus, the Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread are annual holy days that celebrate and remember the Israelites’ deliverance and redemption from Egyptian slavery and bondage by the living Sovereign LORD God (Adonai).[27] The Passover (Pesach) and Feast of Unleavened Bread celebration are mentioned throughout the Holy Bible, including the New Testament.[28] The Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread celebration lasts for eight days, and during this eight-day celebration, no leavened food is eaten. The Holy Scriptures teach that the seven days following the Passover are an entirely independent feast called the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Adonai commanded only the Israelites and the circumcised individuals to eat the Passover (Pesach) meal.[29]
Significantly, Adonai promised Abraham, Issac, and Jacob (Israel) in the book of Genesis that He would deliver their descendants from Egyptian slavery and then bless them with the Promised Land (Canaan, also known as Israel-Palestine).[30] With Adonai’s deliverance, the Israelites left Egyptian slavery and also plundered the Egyptians’ wealth of their silver, gold, and clothing as commanded by Adonai.[31] The Israelites lived in Egyptian slavery for 430 years, but the Israelites left slavery as a mighty army with Adonai leading them to His Promised Land above in His Glory Cloud.[32] The promises of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were fulfilled under the leadership of Joshua, and later fulfilled with greater fullness by Christ Jesus our Lord, who brings us into the Promised Land of God’s Kingdom with heart peace and rest.[33]
- New Testament and the Passover Celebration
By New Testament times, the Passover meal and the Feast of Unleavened Bread had become a unified week-long celebration, and the two celebrations were virtually interchangeable.[34] Notably, the Passover and weeklong Festival of Unleavened Bread celebration during New Testament times caused the population of Jerusalem to increase from a few thousand to a few hundred thousand, all coming to celebrate Israel’s deliverance from Egyptian slavery and bondage by Adonai.[35] By far, the most well-known account of Passover is the Last Supper of Christ Jesus with the lamb, bitter herbs, and wine.[36] Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior, celebrated the Passover during His public ministry on earth as a perfect Jew (Hebrew) who fully obeyed the Law of God.[37]
The Old Testament prophet Isaiah predicted the Messiah (Christ, Anointed One) would be a Servant of God who would suffer and then be sacrificed unto death as a sinless Lamb to atone for our sins, wrongdoings, and crimes against Adonai by His precious blood so He could bring salvation (healing), redemption, righteousness, and forgiveness to all people (Jews and Gentiles) of the world.[38] Notably, the prophet Isaiah saw Christ Jesus and His holiness with glory in the Old Testament.[39] The prophet Isaiah predicted that the Messiah of God would be numbered with the transgressors and criminals, although He was sinless and innocent of any wrongdoing.[40] Also, the book of Psalm describes the suffering, mockery, affliction, and temporary abandonment of the Lamb of God, but He was exalted and praised because He would bring salvation and righteousness to the world.[41]
The New Testament writers gave the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread a new meaning, forever linked with our great Jewish Rabbi and Teacher, Christ Jesus, our Lord.[42] Christ Jesus the Nazarene fulfilled the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread because He is our eternal Deliverer and Savior of the world.[43] The New Testament writers see Christ Jesus our Lord as the perfect and spotless Passover Lamb without blemishes and sins, who gave Himself as a final sacrifice on Good Friday to deliver and redeem us from Satan’s wrath, destruction, and death.[44] John the Baptizer declared that Christ Jesus was the perfect Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.[45] The living Sovereign LORD God of heaven and earth so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son Christ Jesus to deliver us from sins and condemnation through repentance with faithful obedience to Him as Lord and Savior.[46] Christ Jesus is our Unleavened Bread from heaven without any sin or wrongdoing, who brings abundant and eternal life to everyone who feasts upon Him as the Bread of Life.[47]
Christ Jesus our Lord became the final sacrificial Passover Lamb of God for the sins of the world when He was crucified and died on Calvary’s Cross one Good Friday over 2000 years ago outside the city of Jerusalem.[48]Before His crucifixion and sacrifice, Christ Jesus knew He would die on Passover for the sins of the world as predicted by Old Testament prophecy, but Christ Jesus also foreknew that He would rise again from complete death on the third day to rule and reign as King and Lord to provide liberation and deliverance from Satan’s slavery and bondage.[49]
Passover carries a significant prophetic message of Adonai’s plan for world redemption through His Anointed Son, Christ Jesus our Lord, now and at His Second Coming. Christ Jesus our Lord is our eternal Passover (Pesach) Lamb who laid down His perfect life and was sacrificed to remove the leaven (evildoing, wickedness, and malice) from our hearts and minds so we can live and walk with the unleavened lives of truth, holiness, and sincerity.[50] The spirit of Passover (Pesach) is to remove all leaven (hypocrisy, immorality, and falsehood) from our hearts and houses.[51] Christ Jesus and the New Testament writer symbolized yeast (leaven, hametz) with Satan’s sinfulness, hatred (malice), hypocrisy, and falsehood.[52] From the Old Testament into the New Testament, Adonai has called EVERYONE to turn away from Satan’s dark living and instead live holy lives by humbly walking with love, fairness, honesty, mercy, and goodness towards one another, particularly the least of these - the poor, weak, sick, and hungry.[53]
- The Last Supper of Jesus
At sundown on Thursday night, Christ Jesus with His twelve disciples (apostles) celebrated the Passover (Pesach) meal in the Upper Room with the breaking of unleavened bread and drinking of the holy wine before His sacrifice and death as the Passover Lamb of God.[54] Notably, the Jewish day ended at sunset and began anew. Technically, Christ Jesus and His disciples celebrated the Passover meal on early Friday morning. Believers of Jesus later renamed Christ Jesus’ Passover meal as the Last Supper, the Eucharist, and the Holy Communion.
At the Passover meal, Christ Jesus blessed the meal with thanksgiving prayers.[55] Then Christ Jesus broke the unleavened bread, referring to it as His sinless body, and the wine as His precious blood, poured out and sacrificed to forgive the sins of the world.[56] Moreover, Christ Jesus described the holy wine as His blood, and the "blood of the covenant” poured out for the forgiveness of sins.[57] With His broken body and precious blood, Christ Jesus established a new covenant relationship of righteousness and fellowship with His Holy Father (Adonai), through the coming of the Holy Spirit by faith and belief in Christ Jesus’s sacrifice and death on the Cross.[58] Christ Jesus sends the Holy Spirit of God to empower and strengthen believers in Him with a new spiritual nature (rebirth) so they can obey and follow the Law of God within their hearts and minds, and to also receive eternal forgiveness for their sins.[59] After the Passover meal, Christ Jesus and His disciples sang a hymn of worship, and then they went out to the Mount of Olives.[60]
Everyone who celebrates the holy communion by eating the unleavened bread and drinking the wine participates by faith in the body and blood of Christ Jesus and proclaims His death until He returns.[61] The Holy Communion is an agape (love) meal with fellowship that remembers and celebrates Christ Jesus’s love, death, and sacrifice that brought our redemption and deliverance from Satan’s slavery to sin and evildoing, as the Israelites celebrated the Passover meal to remember and celebrate their deliverance from Egyptian slavery and bondage.[62] Christ Jesus and His resurrection celebrate our deliverance and salvation from Satan’s darkness, evildoing, and slavery as the Hebrews celebrate the Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread of deliverance and salvation from Egyptian darkness and slavery.[63] Everyone who receives Christ Jesus by faith and trust in Him also receives His Holy Father, the living Sovereign LORD God of heaven and earth.[64]
Notably, Christ Jesus our Lord did not eat the Passover meal in the Upper Room with His disciples, but He promised that He would eat the Passover meal at the Great Wedding Banquet with Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, and the other righteous ones, when the Passover is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.[65] Notably, the prophet Ezekiel in the Old Testament predicts the celebration of Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread anew in the New Israel.[66]
Significantly, the Apostle Paul warned everyone to examine themselves before participating in and eating the Holy Communion to assure they have repented by turning from Satan’s evildoing, selfishness, and sinfulness and turning to the living LORD God found in Christ Jesus.[67] Everyone who eats the Lord’s holy meal in an unworthy manner will be guilty of dishonoring Christ Jesus and His sacrifice for our sins.[68] Even worse, eating the Lord’s Holy Communion while continuing in Satan’s wrongdoing and dark living brings God’s judgment and wrath in their lives and bodies.[69] The Apostle Paul taught that many have experienced God’s wrath and discipline with sickness, weakness, and disease leading to death because they have rejected Christ Jesus’s forgiveness and sacrifice for their sins and continued following Satan’s selfish and evil living.[70]
- Yom Kippur and the New Testament
Christ Jesus our Lord fulfilled the holy Yom Kippur. The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) is considered the most holy day on the Jewish calendar for all Jews, both individually and collectively.[71] On the Day of Atonement, the Jewish people rested from their ordinary work with a holy fast (going without food), and they recognized all their sins committed throughout the year against the living Sovereign LORD God (Adonai). Then, the high priest of Israel on this most holy day made a confession for their sins and the sins of the people and entered the Most Holy Place (Holy of Holies) in the Tabernacle (Temple) with the blood of reconciliation to ask for forgiveness and to atone for the people’s sins against Adonai so they would not reap the destructions and death because of their sins.[72] Importantly, Adonai pardoned and forgave the people’s sins and wrongdoing after the high priest’s atonement. Leviticus chapter 16 in the Old Testament goes into detail about the Yom Kippur ceremony, which centered on the sacrifices of two goats - one goat slain as a blood sacrifice for sins and the other goat (scapegoat) removing the people’s sins.
Here is more Good News: Christ Jesus, who is our Great High Priest, fulfilled the Day of Atonement for all people! The living Sovereign LORD God of the heavens and earth so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, Christ Jesus, by His grace as the final atonement, ransom, and sacrifice to deliver and free us from Satan’s sin and eternal condemnation.[73] Christ Jesus’s sinless blood and sacrificial death on Calvary’s Cross (execution stake) as the Suffering Servant and Passover Lamb of God provided atonement for all eternity with both a propitiation (appeasement, and satisfaction of God’s judgment) and expiation (payment to God) for our sins so we would not experience God’s wrath and punishment but instead God’s grace, peace (shalom), redemption, salvation (healing), and forgiveness through faithful obedience to Him.[74] On Calvary’s Cross, Christ Jesus was displayed as the final kapparah (propitiation, expiation, ransom, and atonement) and our sacrifice to fulfill Yom Kippur, but even more as our Liberator and Jubilee to set us free from Satan’s slavery to sinfulness and sickness.[75] Christ Jesus declared He is our Jubilee, and He is the “time for the LORD’s favor” and grace.[76]
Christ Jesus gave His sinless life and precious blood by entering the Most Holy Place (Holy of Holiest) in the heavenly Tabernacle to atone and provide the final once and for all sacrifice for the sins of the world so that everyone who believes and obeys Him finds forgiveness, eternal redemption with a new spiritual life, and salvation forever.[77] Here is more Good News: the precious blood of Christ Jesus cleanses us of all our sins, wrongdoings, and crimes when we humbly and genuinely REPENT (turn from Satan’s darkness), confess our sins to God, and turn to the living Sovereign LORD God and His Son Christ Jesus with love and faithful obedience.[78]
The King and Savior of the world is found only in Christ Jesus our Deliverer, who is the Son of the living God.[79] Through repentance with faithful obedience to Christ Jesus as Lord, the living Sovereign LORD God offers everyone atonement, salvation, and redemption with spiritual peace (shalom) and rest on earth and for all eternity.[80] Christ Jesus makes us holy and righteous before His Holy Father when we repent and trust in Him with faithful obedience as our Lord and Savior. Christ Jesus is our Yom Kippur and Jubilee!
- Christ Jesus Lives!
The Resurrected Christ Jesus is our Eternal High Priest and Mediator, and He is seated ALIVE at the right hand of His Holy Father - the Majestic King of Glory, making intercession for our needs and pleading our cause of guilt to His Holy Father.[81] The author of the book of Revelation sees the Resurrected Christ Jesus as the holy Lamb of God and the Bright Morning Star, who brings light and salvation to the world.[82] Moreover, the book of Revelation sees the Resurrected Christ Jesus as One in holy fellowship with His Majestic Holy Father, who deserves all our honor, worship, and faithfulness, just as His Majestic Father does.[83] The heavenly hosts sang a song of praise and worship to the Lamb of God, who was slain, to redeem, cleanse, and save us from Satan’s darkness and to deliver us to His Eternal Father by His precious blood so He could make us kings and holy priests for His Eternal Father to reign with Him forever and ever.[84] Furthermore, the book of Revelation calls Christ Jesus the Lamb who was slain, filled with the Holy Spirit of God, like His Eternal Father.[85]
Importantly, the book of Revelation reveals the Resurrected Christ Jesus as the Passover Lamb of God who died for our sins, crimes, and wrongdoings so we can turn away (repent) and be cleansed from Satan’s dark deeds and evildoing such as lying, thief, witchcraft, drunkenness, sexual sins, greed (covetousness), and idolatry (false gods), so we can find salvation with abundant and new life now and for all eternity with Him and His Eternal Father.[86] Christ Jesus gave His sinless life and precious blood to atone and provide the finalonce and for all sacrifice for the sins of the world.[87] The precious blood of Christ Jesus cleanses us of all our sins, wrongdoings, and crimes when we humbly and genuinely REPENT (turn from Satan’s darkness), confess our sins to God, and turn to the living Sovereign LORD God and His Son Christ Jesus with love and faithful obedience.[88]
- God’s Love and Holy Living
The Holy Bible encourages EVERYONE to keep our minds alert, and our whole hearts focused on Christ Jesus, who is our Lord and the Author of our faith.[89] Christ Jesus, our Lord, wants everyone to follow Him with perseverance and His example by living holy and humble lives, without any sin or deceit in our hearts or mouths.[90] Christian living is not a sprint but a lifelong distance race lived in faithful obedience, with persistence and perseverance to Christ Jesus.[91] Christ Jesus promised that everyone who stands and remains faithful to Him despite Satan’s testing and trials will be saved.[92]
The Holy Bible calls ALL PEOPLE not to rebel and sin against the living Sovereign LORD God by living a life of crime, wrongdoing, and dark deeds with selfish living against Him and His Law (Word of God).[93] Everyone who truly loves Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior lives a good and godly life that loves and obeys Him and His Holy Father, the living Sovereign LORD God of heaven and earth.[94] The mark of a true believer of Christ Jesus is one who repents and turns from Satan’s sinful living and turns to with love and obedience to Christ Jesus as Lord with a commitment to live a life pleasing to Christ Jesus and His Holy Father! The Holy Bible warns that it would be a mistake to believe and think that believers’ future is not affected by their present lives and behavior on earth.[95] Even more, the writer of the book of Hebrews warns the world that there is NO OTHER sacrifice but only a fiery, eternal death for anyone who continues Satan’s sinful and dark living that willfully rejects Christ Jesus and His death for their sins and shame.[96]
The living Sovereign LORD God of heaven and earth so loved the world that He gave His only Son Christ Jesus to deliver us from Satan’s sinful living and condemnation through repentance with faithful obedience to Him and His Son Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior.[97] Truly, Jesus of Nazareth is the Anointed One (Messiah), Son of the living God, and Savior of the world who gave His sinless life as the final sacrifice so we can find salvation (healing), redemption, and new spiritual life through repentance with faithful obedience to Him as Lord.[98] While on earth, Christ Jesus was anointed and empowered by His Holy Father through the Holy Spirit of God to perform miracles, signs, and wonders.[99]
The living Sovereign LORD God deliberately gave His Son Christ Jesus with the help of wicked men and predicted by the holy prophets as a final sacrifice to die for the sins of the world by nailing Christ to Calvary’s Cross.[100] Here is the Good News: Adonai raised His Son Christ Jesus from complete death and darkness because death and darkness had no authority and could not hold Christ Jesus in the grave.[101] Now, Christ Jesus rules and reigns at His Holy Father’s right hand as our Good Shepherd and Overseer of our souls to love and care for God’s holy flock.[102]
- Conclusion
Christ Jesus our Lord brings together the Old Testament system and the New Testament through His sacrificial death and resurrection. The sacrificial system, with its various offerings and priesthood, finds fulfillment in Christ Jesus’s death and resurrection. Now, the Passover and Yom Kippur celebrations mean the great salvation and redemption of the world through faith in Christ Jesus, our Lord. Christ Jesus is our Passover Lamb, Unleavened Bread, and final sacrifice from heaven, who brings everyone abundant and eternal life from heaven, who feasts upon Him as the Bread of Life.
Let everyone REPENT by turning from Satan’s dark living and coming to Christ Jesus as Lord! Christ Jesus calls everyone to come to Him so He can reconcile and unite the world to His Holy Father - the living Sovereign LORD God of heaven and earth, and receive new spiritual life, redemption, salvation, and many other blessings and grace from heaven. REPENT and come to Christ Jesus.
