The great God Jehovah performed miracles like no one had
ever seen before to free His people from bondage in Egypt. Before the tenth
plague swept through the land, God gave Moses the instructions for the Passover
meal which was to be eaten the day before they were delivered from Egypt (Exodus
12). The Lord later gave Moses directions for feasts and festivals that would
all point to the future Redeemer of mankind.
We may ignore these Old Testament rituals and think they
have no purpose for us as Christians today. But we can see connections and
similarities in God’s commandments to the Hebrews.
How does Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread connect to our atonement as New Testament believers?
