"Jesus took bread and wine saying, This is my Body for you, and this cup is the New Covenant in my Blood,
         Do this in remembrance of me."

God has a Master Plan in which He is fulfilling His awesome purpose for mankind. His Son, Jesus Christ, plays the central role in God’s little-known plan for man. Passover is the first of God’s commanded annual Feast Days picturing the very first step in God’s great Master Plan of salvation for mankind (Leviticus 23:5).

On the night before He died, Jesus established the New Covenant Passover for His Church when He commanded Christians to: “Do this in remembrance of Me” (1Corinthians 11:24-25).  Jesus died so that our sins could be forgiven.

Jesus Christ, our “Passover Lamb," was sacrificed for us. “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” (John 1:29) On the first Passover in Egypt, the firstborn were spared from the death angel by the blood of a lamb. That Old Testament deliverance was a symbol of our being spared today from eternal death (Romans 6:23). Jesus, the True Lamb of God, is the reality and fulfillment of what the Old Testament Passover lamb only foreshadowed.

The Passover is a solemn memorial in which baptized members of the Church of God recall the death and sacrifice of Jesus Christ each year. Paul told the New Testament Christians that when they, “Eat this bread, and drink this cup, you do show [remember] the Lord's death till He comes.” (1Corinthians 11:26)
