Passover vs Easter

Just a reminder... Jesus is Our Passover Lamb,

Not Our Easter Bunny ~ 1 Corinthians 5:7

 

Every year around Easter, it's time to remind my Christian brothers and sisters that Christ is our Passover Lamb, not our Easter Bunny.

A partial lunar eclipse occurred on what we now know as Wednesday, April 3 in 30 A.D., the day Jesus was crucified.

Jesus himself said he would be in the grave 3 days and 3 nights. Organized religion claims Jesus was crucified on Friday in 33 AD and was resurrected Sunday morning after 2 nights and one day.

Two kinds of "Sabbaths" Led to Confusion

As John tells us in John 19:31: "Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies [of those crucified] should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken [to hasten death], and that they might be taken away." Passover is a High Sabbath and is one day before the seven days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. ~ Exodus 23:15

Did Jesus ever command His followers to attend a sunrise service to remember His resurrection? Was Jesus resurrected Sunday morning? Churchanity says Jesus was crucified on Friday and rose on Sunday. What say the Scriptures?

For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. ~Matthew 12:40

 

The crucifixion of the Savior took place on Wednesday, April 3, 30 AD and He rose the third day after 3 days and 3 nights in the tomb. Most Bible commentaries claim Jesus was crucified on Friday in 33 AD to fit the popular "Good Friday - Easter Sunday" doctrine. Friday crucifixion and Sunday resurrection is false. Jesus rose Saturday night because the tomb was empty early Sunday morning. ~ John 20:1

Try to get 3 days and 3 nights from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning. According to the false teaching of organized religion, Jesus was in the grave two nights and one day. Who are you going to believe... man's traditions or Jesus?

Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. ~Luke 24:1-3

Why didn't they find the body of the Lord Jesus?... because HE rose Saturday night at the end of 3 days and 3 nights. There never was a Sunday sunrise resurrection.

Ask your Pastor to show you the Scriptures for observing Easter Sunday. And do not be fooled by Acts 12:4. Any serious Bible student knows the word Easter was added by the translators. Look it up in Strong's Concordance. It's Passover, plain and simple, even a child can understand it.

What did Jesus do? He kept The Passover and commanded His followers do this in remembrance of me.

Luke 22:1-19
Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called The Passover... this do in remembrance of me.

1 Corinthians 11:23-26
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. 

In the days of Jeremiah when the people of God were ignoring God's instructions, Jeremiah said: "Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? (following traditions of men) No! They were not at all ashamed; Nor did they know how to blush". ~Jeremiah 6:15

Your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, as you are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Is Passover Observance For Christians?
