The entire Passover is a picture of Christ. Through the shedding of His blood, our sins are covered over. He is the sacrificial lamb.
In 2013, I will preach on all of the Jewish feasts and explain their significance. The first will be on Feb 24, the Feast of Purim, commemorating how the Jews were saved through the heroics of Queen Esther. I will preach the Book of Esther on that day.
On Mar 24, also Palm Sunday, I will preach the Passover, probably from today's reading. We will, of course, celebrate communion that day.
Later in the year, we will celebrate Pentecost, the Day of Atonement, etc.
As we read through the Bible, please note that the Holy Spirit teaches us through a variety of literary genres (narrative, poetry, prophecy, etc.) and techniques, such as pictures to describe Jesus' saving actions by illustrating through the Passover. Whether you are a concept person or a picture person, the Bible will teach you.
