Every two or three years, there is a thirteenth month called Adar II included in the calendar. The year was one of those years with an extra month. Why do we still celebrate Old Testament holidays such as Passover, since Jesus has risen?
Believers in Messiah Jesus have a freedom to celebrate these holidays or not to celebrate them. To celebrate, one must do so in a way that is consistent with New Testament doctrine. Each of the appointed festivals in Leviticus 23 points to Jesus, and they look forward to His first and second comings.
Celebration of these festivals is a great way to draw attention to Him. Regarding Passover, this holiday is a powerful foreshadowing of His sacrificial death, burial, and resurrection. Doing so can be a great way to teach our children their biblical heritage; it can also be a testimony to Jewish family and friends. How is Passover related to the Last Supper?
The Last Supper was itself part of a celebration of Passover. At this celebration, He took elements of the Passover the unleavened bread and the cup and identified them as His body and blood, symbolizing His death. Other elements of the Passover are important symbols as well. Indeed, Jesus is the Passover Lamb.
Is it appropriate for Gentile Christians to celebrate Passover? There is a freedom that believers have in matters like this, and it can be quite meaningful for Gentile Christians to celebrate Passover.
It can be a way of enjoying and identifying with their biblical heritage and as a testimony to Jewish friends and neighbors. The disciples gathered at what became known as the Council of Jerusalem Acts ff and determined that the Gentiles should not feel obligated to observe the law with a few requests, nonetheless.
They further noted that the teachings of the law and its benefits would be available in the synagogues every Sabbath. We see, therefore, that Gentile Christians can celebrate the Passover and reap benefits from doing so. Passover is a seven-day celebration. How are each of the days celebrated? But among most observant Jews outside of Israel — including North America — an eighth day is added, since originally the matter of differing time zones gave concern that the festival was being observed during the correct dates.
In the Bible Leviticus the first and seventh days are emphasized, calling for gathering of a sacred assembly and abstaining from regular work. Create a free Team What is Teams? Learn more.

NigelJ The "great day", I believe, is the 8th and last day of Sukkoth, not the day before anything else: [Jhn ESV] 37 On the last day of the feast, the great day , Jesus stood up and cried out, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Please see: jewishencyclopedia. The great day was not only a sabbath it was also an 'high day'.
Nigel J I do not discount the possibility that the 'high day' referred to the seventh day. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. There are some less well-known lexicons that beg to differ.
If Friday at twilight was the time for the Passover sacrifice, then the following day would be the first day of the feast of unleavened bread which would naturally make that Sabbath both the weekly Sabbath and an annual feast day; so naturally it would be extra special, or a "high day". The phraseology in the synoptic Gospels make it clear that Jesus died on Friday. John also makes this clear unless we make a special pleading for the use of this word here. The Pulpit commentary observes at John The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation; that is, the day before the sabbath Mark Improve this answer.
You said if Friday at twilight was the time for the passover sacrifice then the next day would be the first day of the feast of unleavened bread. How do you explain the fact Jesus Christ and his disciples observed the passover the night before, and that Leviticus 23 explicitly says passover and the first day of unleavened bread are on different days days which start at sunset? There were varying practices.
He was crucified on the day that normally killed the Passover. Sunday was three days later Luke by inclusive reckoning. Sabbath was therefore the high day. By your reckoning he was already dead and buried before the passover even arrived. Not at all - he would have died about 3pm as per John's account and that gave time for Joseph to notice the death, ask Pilate for the body and place it in the tomb before sunset on Friday.
I am not sure but I think you meant a verse other than Luke above. By the way your comments about Luke 24 below were very helpful. Show 2 more comments. Teamonger Teamonger 35 4 4 bronze badges. Finally an answer that takes the text at face value.
I'm a little confused about the times: " The animal was slain on the eve of the Passover, on the afternoon of the 14th of Nisan, after the Tamid sacrifice had been killed, i. Leviticus YLT You can see this in some of the passages John wrote. John And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves; Read Leviticus again Matthew And he answering said to them, 'A generation, evil and adulterous, doth seek a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet; for, as Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights, so shall the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
Mark Luke And the multitudes crowding together upon him, he began to say, 'This generation is evil, a sign it doth seek after, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet, for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall the Son of Man be to this generation.
Jonah Edit: To whoever downvoted this answer - at least leave a comment explaining why. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. So, to be unleavened represents being without sin. But, is that even possible? How can anybody be free of ALL sin, since even Paul admitted that he still battled the sins of his flesh? There is only one sin that condemns, and that is unbelief John , Hebrews To be justified before the Father is to be made righteous. That righteousness can only come from the Father, because no man can make himself righteous, as that would require self-righteousness, or self-justification, and Yah abhors man attempting to justify himself.
That was what Yah ultimately revealed to Job—that Job justified himself. Man cannot ever justify himself before the Father, and so, he needs the indwelling Holy Spirit, who not only seals the bride eternally, but also makes her righteous before the Father. Righteousness comes only from the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, but holiness is the duty of those who have been made righteous, and that is the denying of one's flesh. To deny, or crucify, one's flesh is to stop committing sins of the flesh—the sins we see listed in Galatians But, those sins of the flesh committed by one who has already been made righteous do not have anything to do with his eternal destiny , but affect the closeness of his relationship with the Father and also his eternal reward.
One's child can choose to be disobedient, but that will never make him no longer one's child. So, to be made righteous in the Father's eyes is to be without the sin that condemns, which is unbelief, and that is only possible by the indwelling Holy Spirit.
Those who have the Holy Spirit are no longer condemned, and those who do not have His Spirit, because of their unbelief, are condemned already John Paul specifically tells us that Yahoshua IS our Passover—the sacrifice that makes it possible for one to be made unleavened, or righteous, before the Father.
Without the Passover sacrifice, there is no redemption, and it is through belief in the Perfect Lamb of Yah—that He sacrificed Himself to suffer the punishment for our sin—so that we can be made righteous. As the Passover Lamb who was sacrificed on the tree, Yahoshua then took His bride's sin to hell, and suffered the punishment for it there.
That is the meaning behind Yah's command that the Passover lamb not be boiled or eaten raw, but that it must be cooked over fire Exodus Where is sin punished?
