Luke 22 CEB

The Passover festival takes us back to the exodus from Egypt. When Moses wasn’t instructed to tell the Israelites to paint the blood of the pass over lamb on the door, post of the houses, so that the angel of death would pass them by and that their firstborn would not die. Here we have Jesus offering his blood and his body to his disciples to eat a meal in remembrance of him, and remembrance of the pass over festival. In fact, we cannot understand the true significance of the pass over festival, without recognizing the deep significance, that Jesus takes it onas he faces is death.
