On the seventh day, the Passover morning service took place.
The Torah was read, prayers uttered and blessings from the priest happened.
A festive lunch meal took place.
Evening prayers and blessings were recited.
Candles were lit and festive evening meal.
Some say there are 8 days and celebrate that way, but we are going with seven as that is what Jesus would have done (the Bible only talks about seven).
With all that being said how does Jesus fit into this festival because we are to glorify Him.
Jesus did participate in the festival.
The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. John 2:13
And so Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it.” Luke 22:8
and other verses point to that Jesus participated in this festival.
Jesus cleansed the temple.
Jesus instituted the Lord's supper on the Passover.
From what I read I have read more than once that Jesus was the fulfillment of the Passover.
7 Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed. 1 Corinthians 5:7
For our passover also hath been sacrificed, even Christ: -the last part of verse seven in the American Standard Bible.
What do you think?
