Passover-Linking the Old and the New
Tuesday, 7 April, 2026

The Jewish Passover and the Lord’s Supper share deep theological and symbolic connections rooted in God’s redemptive work. Passover commemorates Israel’s deliverance from Egypt, when the blood of a lamb protected the people from judgment (Exodus 12:13). Similarly, the Lord’s Supper remembers Jesus Christ as the ultimate Passover Lamb whose sacrifice brings deliverance from sin (1 Corinthians 5:7). Both observances involve a meal with symbolic elements. In Passover, unleavened bread represents purity and haste (Exodus 12:8), while in the Lord’s Supper, the bread signifies Christ’s body given for believers (Luke 22:19). The cup in Passover recalls God’s promises of redemption, and in the Lord’s Supper it represents the new covenant in Christ’s blood (Luke 22:20). Importantly, Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper during a Passover meal (Matthew 26:17–28), transforming its meaning to point directly to His sacrificial death. Just as Passover marked physical liberation, the Lord’s Supper proclaims spiritual freedom and ongoing remembrance: “Do this in remembrance of me” (1 Corinthians 11:24–25). Thus, both highlight God’s saving grace through sacrifice, moving from the shadow of the lamb in Exodus to its fulfillment in Christ.
