1 John 1:7 (ESV) If we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, & the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. John 1:29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, & said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! John 6:32-36 Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.” Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst”. —Passover is God bringing His people from slavery into freedom; Easter is God freeing His people from sin & death. For the celebration of Passover there was a sacrificial lamb, for the celebration of Easter Jesus was the sacrificial lamb! Throughout the Bible there is much discussion about bread, & wine; Jesus tells us He is the bread of life & the drink for never thirsting again. May you all have a blessed Passover & a blessed Resurrection Sunday! The key word is Blessed! Our blessings are worth entering His courts with a thankful heart. Love Mel
