[Music] Shalom and welcome to via after Israel a Hebrew phrase which means you shall love Israel we hope you'll stay with us for the next 30 minutes as our teacher dr. Baruch shares his expose Ettore teaching from the Bible dr. Baruch is the senior lecturer at the Sarah Avraham Institute based in Israel although all courses are taught in Hebrew at the Institute dr. Baruch is pleased to share this weekly address in English to find out more about our work in Israel please visit us on the web at love Israel you are G that's one word love Israel o RG now here's Baruch with today's lesson Passover is a day that God has set aside for preparation many times we forget that Passover biblically especially in the New Covenant in those four Gospels we find that Passover is called the preparation day and what is that for well to prepare that Passover offering everything that was done on this 14th day of the first month was to prepare the Passover that it might be partaken of at sundown that is at the beginning of the fifteenth day see many people do not realize that Passover is not received on Passover but it is partaken of on the day after Passover is the preparation that we might receive it on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread and that's why we read in The Tortoise evening from Book of Leviticus in chapter 23 we saw that the first day of unleavened bread is a sacred assembly a holy convocation McCrea Kadesh in Hebrew and what made it such a special day well this is in memorial to the people partaking of the Passover having slain the lamb having put its blood upon its doorposts and now receiving it and here's an important truth they had to receive it in three specific ways and what was that well you can read this in the book of Exodus chapter 12 in verse 8 they were called to partake of that Passover that is to consume that lamb and they were called to do it by having their loins that is their waist girded now why was that well you might recall that Yeshua in the book of John we see that on the night before he was crucified he gathered his disciples and one of the things that he did was to gird himself with a towel and he washed the disciples feet now dirtying oneself is a posture for for service he was humbling himself showing that he came in to serve and therefore even though and this is a vital point even though the children of Israel were coming out of Egypt and how were they dining they were dining reclining why is that important because this is the way that a king or one of of wealth would partake of a meal and so we have kind of a dichotomy we have the children of Israel eating that mill as men of nobility as Kings would eat but nevertheless their loins were girded why was that well even though through keeping the Passover no longer would they be servants of Pharaoh but they would come out being transformed into and here's the key servants of God we need to realize that that statement about having your waist girded it reveals that the children of Israel received redemption so that they might serve God so we who have received our Passover Messiah sure do you realize that you have been saved to serve that that Liberty that you have received is a Liberty whereby you have been given the ability to serve God that's what Passover does it transforms us from being servants of Pharaoh who is rooted in darkness and sin and idolatry to becoming servants of a living a righteous a holy God now the next thing that we're told in this same 8th verse or excuse me eleventh verse Exodus 12 and verse 11 what we're told there is that we're supposed to eat it not only with our loins girded but also also now lime Bay recline ooh that is with shoes upon our our feet now here again this would be peculiar this would be out of the ordinary because when people came into a tent came into a building they would remove their shoes and so having shoes on your feet while eating well this was not done so why did God command and Exodus 12 verse 11 for this to be done well the answer is simple because they would partake of that meal and in receiving that meal what was that going to bring about it was going to bring them out of Egypt so shoes upon their feet in order that they would be ready with with people's own now that word HEPA zone you know I was speaking not too long ago to a group of individuals Hebrew speakers it's not a word that that we use too often in normal speech today we use the word Dolf a sense of urgency with haste but he p'zone is the biblical word from the Hebrew Bible which means that they ate it with their shoes on their feet so they could depart with haste with urgency and that tells us that when God calls we should respond at once well the third thing that that verse mentions is that they ate it with their their staff in their hand here again not a normal thing to do and this staff shows Authority so we have been called out of Egypt to be servants of God and when we are submissive to that calling his purpose hat service we have authority authority given to us to serve now there's another important thing that we need to know about Passover and that is that Passover yes it's the festival of redemption whenever Passover appears in the scripture we need to think about the redemptive work of God but also Passover what should come into our mind death and the question is this death when Passover day comes there's going to be death the question is whose death what type of death and there's a choice see God so frequently gives us choices choices that have implications if you were wise and you kept the Passover well what would die the Passover lamb but if you did not slay that Passover lamb if that death wasn't part of your observance well there would be another death that visited you and that was the death of the firstborn and this is significant because the death of the firstborn was not only of a human being but also of the behemoth of the animals and that meant that that death well it meant that it was going to be pain losing the firstborn son but also costly in losing the firstborn of your your cattle your sheep your livestock so it had a inward pain and an outward pain but death is going to visit that household now another important thing that we learn in the scripture is if you look sometime too to that same twelfth chapter and you look at verse verse 12 you'll find something else you will find that that the word there is judgments it's a word Shifa team now it's related to miss spot judgment but what's interesting it's in the plural and what does that show it shows an abundant and ongoing judgment now think of it this way if a father lost his firstborn sling son that pain that that grief would just that happen and be gone it continues on and that is to personify that God's judgment ultimately is ongoing it doesn't end it continues it's ongoing so there's that severe that abundant judgment what's emphasized on Passover it's not just the death of that lamb but rather the blood it is not enough just to slay the lamb and partake of the land you must you must deal with the blood properly and that's so important because in our faith as well a new covenant faith rooted in Messiah sure we have to understand that it was just not his death but his blood of a shed what did Messiah say when when he ate that that Last Supper with his disciples well when he took the cup he said this cup is a cup of the New Covenant in my blood for the remission of sins so it was blood that was that key element in regard to finding the forgiveness of sins so it's not enough that Messiah just died who was also his blood that had to be appropriated properly and one of the things we see that before Mary Magdalene touched in fact he warned her do not touch me and the reason that most colors state for this is that Messiah had to ascend to the upper parts of the heaven that he might apply the sacrifice his blood in order to purchase force and here's the key eternal Redemption so blood was important and one of the things that we see when we look carefully at the scripture we see that this this judgment this this account of God bringing judgment upon Egypt and remember something Egypt is is synonymous with the world biblically when we come across and we look in God's Word and we find Egypt we should also think about the world and the blood what we find is this it didn't matter who dealt with it if they dealt with it properly there was that that outcome of forgiveness that death did not visit the home now why am I saying this because so frequently people tell me when dealing with the gospel you know that gospel message I mean it just it's just hard to believe because of its simplicity because of its ease what do I mean ease well even if a very wicked person I mean we can think about a person who who tries to be good who practices nice things to to do someone who is honest for the most part and someone who is wicked thoroughly through does terrible crimes and such but this is what the scripture tells us if the one who is seemingly to our eyes a good person if that good person didn't apply the blood to his doorpost to the lintel of his home that goodness of him didn't spare him god's judgment would visit that home but this wicked one despite all of his wickedness all of his crimes all of his sins if this one did apply the blood to his doorpost to the lintel then the judgment of god would pass over what we see is the blood is what mattered not who it was that kept it and we got to see another example of that in a few minutes now when we look at verse 15 of the book of Exodus chapter 12 and verse 15 we see something we see here that it talks about this sacrifice and this sacrifice having something to do against your enemy but what's in very important is this when it speaks of it it uses the term Shabbat the Sabbath day and I realized this is going to be hard to understand but it uses the term Sabbath as a verb you say well what does that mean well the term Sabbath has to do with stopping or ceasing and this is what we find we find that the Sabbath is a vessel that helps us to stop doing those things that we ought not to do they are a tool against the enemy meaning this the Sabbath when we practice it it gives us victory over our enemy that sinful sinful character so this is what Messiah meant when he says the Sabbath was not given so that man might do it in the sense that that the Sabbath was was man was created for the Sabbath no man wasn't created for the Sabbath the Sabbath was created for man meaning it's useful to us so when we apply Sabbath truth to our life when we utilize that day it is going to have in a spiritual outcome in our life in order that we might have victory over those enemies in our life those sinful tendency now obviously faith in Messiah is the solution but as believers don't we all still struggle with sin and the truth of the matter is when we look at this and let me just take out the text and we'll look at it closely I'm speaking about the book of Exodus chapter 12 and verse 15 notice what it says here Exodus 12 verse 15 we read here that it says in verse 15 seven days you're supposed to eat matzah and on the first day now this is what it says on the first day you're supposed to notice what it says that you're supposed to destroy the yeast in your homes well this word for destroying is the same word for the Sabbath day but in the verbal form so what we find here is that the yeast that's mentioned here well in the New Covenant when Paul speaks about it he speaks about yeast or 11 and he Sonata mises that with with pride with that that sinful Cardinal nation nature and this is what the enemy utilizes so when we utilize the Shabbat what it's saying here is that it destroys that that pride that that haughtiness that a person can have that Yetzirah that evil inclination this is what Messiah met what he says that the Sabbath was made for man that we might utilize it for a spiritual benefit and then as we read on in the text we see for example in Exodus chapter 12 and verse 29 we see here that that the judgment from God went out at HUD so Tyla at midnight now in the midst of darkness God's judgment went forth and fell upon every home every home that did not have blood placed upon it the blood of the Passover lamb placed upon it in an appropriate way and what do we know that judgment visited and if you read verse 29 carefully it says that this death visited the the palace of Pharaoh and also the home of the this this captive and what does it mean here it means that that one who was taken by the army and placed in the dungeon now think about this for a moment there was not two more different men than the one that verse 29 describes Pharaoh Pharaoh was wealthy farrell lived a life of luxury and and more important than that pharaoh was a recipient of much and i want to emphasize this much information remember Moses and Aaron went to him frequently they went and told him he saw the the miracles the plays that God did he was a recipient of great revelation from the heavens but what about this poor one this one taken captive and put in the dungeon he didn't know any of these things he didn't have any revelation but never less because he didn't keep the passover he was unable to keep the Passover he was a prisoner he couldn't take a lamb he couldn't have done any of those things but death still visited why well it's not the reason why it's whether the blood is there and that shows us a very important theological truth you know people speak about accountabilities people speak about opportunity people speak about well what if they're on some deserted island and never heard well this answers the question pretty good it all has to do with whether one applied the blood or not any other reason doesn't matter if they had the opportunity or not the opportunity if there was no blood utilized properly they suffered the consequences and it says in the next verse in verse 30 there was great scream a Sokka God Allah the arts a great great screaming and the implication here is not that there was just a yell but it just continued on and on and on and this signifies this continual punishment that God's judgment is just not here and gone but it continues ultimately forever that judgment that he's going to place upon those who have rejected the Passover and I'm speaking about Messiah Yeshua our Passover lamb and with that I'd like to focus in more on Messiah for the second half of this teaching tonight because Paul says in first Corinthians chapter 5 he is our Passover and he says let us keep the festival not with the leaven of pride and an arrogance but with the unleavened bread with humility and simplicity and he's speaking here about applying God's truth to our life why because one has to be simple minded what does that mean focus on one thing so we need to be simple-minded we need to be individuals that just focus upon the Word of God and when we do that we're going to understand God's revelation now let's talk a moment about Messiah and I want to focus in in this study to see me with the time that I have left I want to focus in on Messiah before Pontius Pilate what say that again I want to focus in on what the Gospels reveal about Messiah when he went before Pontius Pilate now one of the things we can say is that really Pontius Pilate wanted nothing to do with this trial he didn't seek it he wasn't all that much aware of Yeshua he certainly didn't feel threatened by him and when he examined him there was some things in the scripture that stand out that we should should understand as readers and one of them was indeed how Messiah behaved in front of Pontius Pilate now there was and Pontius Pilate made reference to this before you shoot he says don't you hear all the things that they are saying against you to condemn you to show that you are guilty and you're sure he answered nothing on all of these charges now this meant something to Pontius Pilate because he was accustomed to people begging for their lives asking for mercy I mean Pontius Pilate in one sense held people's lives in his hand he could say let them go free or crucify them and no one no one would want to hear to be crucified so he's used to people seeking His mercy honoring him flattering him begging him and here Messiah was doing none of this and the scripture says that Pontius Pilate was amazed by this now it also tells us that he knew out of envy or jealousy that they turned Yeshua over to him now he didn't want this trial he didn't want to condemn Messiah but here's the problem he was thinking not as a true judge being concerned for justice I mean he asks repeatedly what what what has this one done what guilt is it and what was their response if he wasn't really guilty we wouldn't have turned him over to you but there was no real charges made against him all they said is we have a law and according to our law he must die well they never told them why and perhaps an wordly they really didn't know see the scripture is so perfect if you look sometime to the book of Deuteronomy you're gonna find something you're gonna find there it states curse it be everyone who is hung on the tree and Messiah see if he was just stoned as Jewish law mandated that Scripture wouldn't be relevant but that scripture had to do with him as well and so curse it is the man who's hung on the tree Messiah he became a curse for us that he took death that we might have the ability through him to find life in life eternal and to find the blessings of God so he died upon that tree that was God's plan and here's what we see when Messiah was before just pilot the only time he really spoke is when Pontius Pilate asked him are you Malachi you Adeem are you the King of the Jews now what would that mean well that is an idiom it's an expression that everyone back then would understand what he was referring to the king of the Jews is another term for the mushiya the Christ and he asked them are you the Messiah and you sure answered affirmative so we see over and over Messiah did not deny that he was the Messiah nor did he deny as he did in the trial before the Sanhedrin what did he do there not only did he say that he's Messiah but he also said he was the son of God the Son of the Blessed One so Messiah affirmed his divinity and affirmed his call as the Christ very important that we see this well we know something we know that when when Pontius Pilate was on the throne the throne of judgment he received a message and that message was from his wife now this is important it's important because when he was was giving rule that judgment what to do with Messiah the one whom God provides to every man that helped me that wife now a wife she is a counselor that is she provides wise counsel she is a God appointed advisor and notice what she says she says to her husband as he's there making judgment she says don't have anything to do with this righteous one now I think that term is so important that she called him righteous furthermore she says for I have suffered much in a dream today now how do we put those two things together well she suffered and he's righteous see many scholars and I would agree with them that dream that she had it revealed his righteousness and was also very convicting of her own sin her own wickedness she suffered when she was confronted with her own sin so she says don't have anything to do with this righteous one righteous while you certainly wouldn't want to condemn a righteous individual and that's what she's saying do nothing wouldn't it have been good from pontius standpoint if he obeyed his wife now we don't have time to go into how Messiah could have died in an obedient way from and I'm speaking about obedience from the the Jewish leadership if they would have recognized and responded properly see we need to see this from both perspectives some other time we'll talk about it but let me just suffice to say there was pure disobedience in the Jewish leadership and among Judas Judas just didn't do what he had to do Judas he was an instrument of Satan because he loved money he was concerned about money no if you read some time in Matthew 26 when this woman this woman who got it right she understood Passover what did I share with you earlier about Passover Passover when we hear it we should think about death and she knew just like you sure had said so many times Passover is coming I'm going up to Jerusalem I'm going to be betrayed there by the chief priests and the elders and I'm going to be crucified meaning that the Romans are going to crucify me he was stating over and over Passover is a time for his death and only this woman what woman remember the one that came with that alabaster jar of costly very costly perfume she anointed his body for burial she was the only one that got it right that that he was going to die and when they saw him speaking about the disciples when they saw her pour all all of that body bottle of costly perfume they were indignant they were angry and Judas just couldn't let it go he felt cheated out of money because they could have given it to him he could have sold it and what was he doing well the scripture says he was stealing from the Treasury the disciples he kept the bag with the money and therefore because of this this ethnic nation this anger about seeing that money being what they thought wasted they've been said it by that word what a waste the disciple said and therefore because of those thoughts what do we know Judas went and he said to the Jewish leadership what will you give me if i betray him into your hands so what we saw was Messiah yes he had to die but woe to the one that one who betrays him well carrying on in the story Pontius Pilate wanted to set him free and he came up with what he thought was a good plan for two reasons first of all remember the scripture says there was that tradition that on Passover that the governor would let one prisoner go free now this was kind of a personification of the Passover story that they were in bondage in Egypt and they went free so in come raishin of that the governor of Jerusalem would let the one Jewish prisoner go free at Passover now what did Pontius Pilate do well he chose a man by the name of bar-abba or Barabbas now bar-abba means the son of ABBA and that's how people they didn't have last names back then they had the first thing and then they were called the son of and that's how you would identify so we know that this one Barabbas he was the son of ABBA but what was his first thing well many Bibles point this out down below but the best Greek manuscripts they have his first name and you know what it was Yeshua or Jesus now do you see what Pontius Pilate did he chose two men with the same name Yeshua may not scratch Jesus of Nazareth who he wanted to go free and Jesus bar-abba now here was what he was hoping they would say which one do you want to go free and they would say Yeshua and therefore he could choose that you showed that he wanted not Barabbas but the other one you sure our Savior the Messiah but the leadership was very wise and they get the people to say not Yeshua but bar-abba now there was another reason why Pontius Pilate chose this one bar-abba we know that he was a murderer but he committed murder in in in the course of committing an insurrection what's that a fancy word for a rebellion and most people wrongly think that the rebellion that he was doing was against Rome this was not the case how can we be so sure well if in the midst of rebelling against the Roman Empire even doing that was a death penalty but he killed someone presumably a Roman well that would have meant sure and quick death he wouldn't been taken to prison to have a trial b2 brought out some other time no he would have been put to death already know the truth of the matter is he was a rebel but he was against the corruption of the Jewish leadership of the high priests of the Sanhedrin he was rebelling against them and realized something think for a moment about John the Baptist's where was he out by the Dead Sea what wasn't he doing he wasn't serving as a priest why wasn't he serving as a priest because of the statute that is the corruption among Jerusalem in the leadership of the Jewish people that they were working with the Romans Roman government was corrupt how do we know that well many reasons but one from the scripture what did Pilate say he says what is truth meaning truth isn't what what matters the government's not run about truth and justice right and wrong no it's politics there's a whole lot of other factors and this was Pontius Pilate problem instead of making a decision about Yeshua concerning him around according to the truth nope he was trying to juggle things set Yeshua free because he wanted to but also keep the Jewish leadership happy and he couldn't so he picked one that he thought whether they said you're sure he could choose or he simply thought they would never choose Barabbas because he was an enemy of the Jewish leadership the very people that were condemning you're sure he thought for sure they would pick Yeshua but they did and bar-abba went free and remember what he said what do you want me to do with Yeshua and in Matthew's Gospel it says crucify him and he had him flogged and then crucified now that's true that's exactly what Pontius Pilate did but Matthew tells the story very quickly and some scholars they say well something doesn't make sense because normally you wouldn't have someone flogged if you were gonna turn around and crucify him I mean crucifixion was painful enough and part of crucifixion was having this enduring pain of being on the cross so you wouldn't do this so they said it doesn't seem to make sense that's an error it's not an error it's when we come to Luke's Gospel that we see why he was flogged first because Pilate did not want to see him crucified no in Luke's Gospel what we are told that he had him flogged that is with that that shoot shot is the Hebrew word for a whip and this whip would have many straps one handle and from that would come many different different stripes and these straps straps would have different bones and glass and metal into them so when it went across the back it would open up tear the flesh and they would beat over and over and over many times people from flogging would go into shock and would die because of the intense pain and you sure had this done to him in a brutal way and then Pontius Pilate brought him out read Luke's Gospel he brought him out before the crowd and what did he say he nay ha ish which means what behold the man now why did he do that well realize something you sure had suffered he had suffered at the hands of the soldiers that were under the auspice of the Sanhedrin once they said he is worthy of death what do they do they began to mock him spit in his face and also slap him and beat him and it just wasn't likely so he suffered a beating there and then he was sent and now he went through a brutal flogging and when he came before the people he didn't even look like himself and that is why Pontius Pilate says behold the man meaning this I give you my word this is in fact Yeshua see he was concerned because of how he looked that they would think you're you're pulling a fast one you're switching this isn't Yeshua so he took the old behold the man this is him he thought that they would look about how you sure had suffered this beating and they would have said enough he doesn't have to be crucified and he couldn't let him free certainly he suffered greatly but he would have gained his life well we know what happened they once again cried out crucify him crucify him and he was sent to be crucified now there was something that that needs to be pointed out and that is when Yeshua was on that tree what happened he says I thirst now this is important because if you go back to Exodus chapter 12 and you look at verse 8 what does it say says that there are three elements that Passover during the time that the temple stood and before it had to have what were these three of course the lamb the matzah and the bitter herbs these were the three things we read about in Exodus chapter 12 and verse 8 well we know that you show us the Lamb of God that's what John said when he saw coming before him at the Jordan River behold the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world now we also know that he's that bread of life and that bread of life is a expression that relates to not normal bread but unleavened bread the matzah so in one sense Yeshua's both of these things but in the Book of Numbers chapter 9 and verse 11 it says that that these three the matzah the more the bitter herbs and the lame all have to be partaking of together and Yeshua said when he was on that cross I thirst now why did he do that in order that the scripture might be fulfilled even in this moment of intense pain and suffering as death was approaching Yeshua what was he concerned about he was concerned about fulfilling Scripture so he says I thirst and by God's providence we know that there was a jar of bitter wine and what do we know well a man rushed he put it on a ace folk kind of a sponge and he used hyssop very important a zuv haze ovas the Hebrew word for hyssop and he put it on this this this type of plant or a bush he took its stem and he put the folk the sponge on it and extended it up to your shoe and when he drink he being the bread of life the matzah being the lamb and now partaking of the bitter Passover was fulfilled and what did he say it is finished now what's important about this is that he cried out in a loud voice now in another gospel we have something similar this is when as well he's fulfilling Scripture he's speaking from Psalm 22 when he says my God my God why has thou forsaken me and why did he say this well remember something you're sure who hath made patience means he was innocent he had no sin but the one who never sinned he became sin for us what does that mean when he hung on that tree this one who had never seen arsons meaning your sin my sins the sins of the world were placed upon him he took our sin and he imputed to us his righteousness and when that sin was laid upon him he the scripture says became sin for us this one who knew no sin becoming sin for us sin separates us from God and when he became sin for us he felt that separation from his Heavenly Father and he cried out my God my God why has thou forsaken me meaning left me well he cried out with that loud voice and this is odd because immediately after saying this and crying out with his voice what happens well it says that that he gave up his spirit now what do we learn from that he was in control of his death and this is what he said earlier when he says I have the power to lay down my life and I had the power to take it up again so he was in control of his death and you know what that means well it means that he died because he took the sins of the world upon him he didn't die as an outcome of crucifixion now was he crucified yes he was did he die on the cross obviously he died on the cross but he didn't die by crucifixion now he would have but he died by something else and that is the sins of the world being placed upon him understand the theological connection between sin and death now how can I be so sure that beside didn't die by crucifixion even though he was crucified well we've already tailed it because he cried out but that loud voice see when some one died by crucifixion they died of asphyxiation that is they suffocated they became so weak they could not breathe they didn't have the power to take a breath well that's not Yeshua when someone dies upon a cross it becomes harder and harder for them to breathe and their voice becomes fainter and fainter weaker and weaker but immediately before you shouid I he cried out in a loud voice and here's what I want to emphasize and that is there was a city rien now this is important because this satori in' well why was he there he was an important ruler an army official he was over a hundred men up to 999 and what was his job well stands to reason that this high-ranking army official he was over killing and he would have seen hundreds if not thousands of people crucified and died because of crucifixion but what he saw Yeshua die read the account in the scripture when he saw Yeshua died in the soldiers with him when they saw him speak loudly and then give up his spirit when they see what he said all these things what did this one say he said truly this one is the son of God he believed who you sure it truly is the son of God and let me ask you do you believe that do you believe that Yeshua is the son of God this one who left the throne in heaven this one who did not equate equality with God to be be a thing to be grasped because he had it he was equal with God because he is God's only begotten Son Messiah there was never time he didn't exist he's eternal he was not created and this one he humbled himself coming into this world taking on human flesh and die humbled himself to even death death on a cross why so that you could be forgiven so that I could be forgiven and that we could become a new creation by means of redemption through his shed blood that we could experience the remission of sin and understanding this is only possible when we do so through a pass over perspective and that's why Passover is so important well as I begin to wrap up let me remind you something that everyone that came out of Egypt and there was a mixed multitude that is also Gentiles with the Hebrews but they were called the congregation of the Lord that word congregation means witnesses and everyone who came out on their way a calling to go into the land of promise they all had something in common not the color of their skin not what language they spoke not their ethnicity but what do they have in common they all shared a Passover experience and realized something the only way that you could come out of this world of bondage lead this world and enter into a promised kingdom the very kingdom of God is if you have a Passover experience what type of Passover experience am i speaking about one with the true lamb of God our Passover Messiah Yeshua he truly is the Son of God who left heavens throne and humbled himself in order that he might pay the price suffer a barbaric and cruel death suffering much in order that we could go free and find forgiveness life everlasting and have that kingdom expectation will not disappoint so let me ask you again have you accepted him it's so easy all you have to do is to confess yes I am a sinner and if you're wise you'll say that right now yes Oh God I'm a sinner and I have no hope in and of myself and therefore I put my faith my trust my very being in the hands of Messiah I accept his death on a cross I I utilize his shed blood for my personal redemption that I might be forgiven of my sins I believe he died upon that cross and I believe he rose on that third day why is that so important because the scripture says if you believe in your heart and you confess with your mouth that the Messiah that he rose from the dead you will be saved so my hope and my prayer is that you've done just that that you confess that you're sinner and you put your hope in Messiah and that you have invited him to be the lord of your life to be your savior trusting in the sufficiency of that provision his death on the cross and is shedding the blood if you do that just what we learned earlier doesn't matter whether you are so-called good or whether you are a brazen sinner God's son paid the price his blood atones and redeemed eternally for whatever sin all sin of the world my hope is that if you haven't received Messiah that you have done so when I said those words earlier and if not then you can do it later on but make that decision experience him because I'll close with this what we learn is that that during the feast of unleavened bread there's two very important days holidays it begins the first day of unleavened bread when we receive that Passover sacrifice and we receive the remission of sin that last day that seventh day is also a holy convocation a McCrea kodesh and what do we know traditionally this is seen as the day of victory a day of defeat of the enemy when the children of Israel they were at that that Red Sea and God says go for it and they went for it and in doing so they cross out of Egypt the land that was related to them and they passed through that and the enemy was destroyed what is that a day of victory and if you have that Passover experience you can expect that victory when you go before God and he invites you by his sons sufficiency what he's done for us that you have victory what is that that you enter into
