Passover 2019 begins Friday, April 19 at sunset (today) ends Saturday, April 27 at nightfall

On Nisan 10 a Passover Lamb is chosen (Ex 12). It is inspected for any blemish until Nisan 14. When the actual sacrifice was made (Lev 23:5) The passover meal is eaten the next evening Nisan 15.

Christ triumphal entry begins on Sat (Nisan 10). He is inspected for blemishes via the Pharisees & (Mk 12:17 & 25) And is killed on Nisan 14. Although his disciples prepared the Passover meal. Jesus was dead when the Jews ate it on Nisan 15.

1 Cor 5:7 (C) For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
(NOTE: Christ is our Passover)

Exodus 12:43-48. No foreigners, servants, sojourners or strangers could partake in the in the Passover meal unless they were circumcised. Also see Gen 17:7-14

1 Cor 11:27 Who ever eats this bread, & drinks this cup of the Lord, unworthily, will be guilty of the body & blood of the Lord
(NOTE: I've seen many people/teachers/preachers tie/force sin into this verse. Jesus who gave the ordinance, PAID, for the believers sins. This verse is warning NON-believers. Uncircumcised were forbidden to partake in the OT & NON-believers are not to partake in this NT ordinance)

Ex 12:14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
(NOTE: This day shall be MEMORIAL)

1 Cor 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me
(NOTE: Do this in REMEMBRANCE of me)

Passover & Communion meals are both given as meals of memorial/remembrance.

For Jews, deliverance from slavery & 10th plague/angel of death. For Christians deliverance from sin & death

Like Passover the Last Supper/communion ended with the singing Hallel hymns (Ps 113-118 - Mat 26:30 & Mk 14:26)

Jn 6:53-58 Speaks to the importance of our partaking

As to how often: Acts 20:7 suggest weekly as does Lev 24:9 & 1 Chron 9:32.

This post is MOO! My Opinion Only.
