“Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.”
Deuteronomy 16:3 KJV
Jesus explained the permanent new covenant which God made with mankind through Christ, and of which the Passover was a sign. “The truth is,” Jesus said, “Moses didn’t give you the Bread of Heaven. It’s My Father Who offers Bread that comes as a dramatic sign from heaven. The Bread of God is the One who came out of heaven to give His life to feed the world.” Jeremiah had already prophesied of this to the Jews, “The day is coming,” says the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah.” Jesus, through His sacrifice on the Cross is the new covenant, ratified by His Blood. This proves that by establishing this new covenant the first is now obsolete, ready to expire, and about to disappear. So Jesus is the One Who has enacted a new covenant with a new relationship with God so that those who accept the invitation will receive the eternal inheritance He has promised to His heirs. For He died to release us from the guilt of the violations committed under the first covenant. Amen!
