Why Passover Still Matters: Rehearsing God’s Plan for Humanity

For many Christians, Passover feels like a Jewish relic—fulfilled, discarded, and replaced by Easter. But just before His death, Jesus said, “With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer” (Luke 22:15). He didn’t abolish it—He gave it new meaning, telling His followers to continue observing it in remembrance of Him.

So why is this memorial, central to Christ’s sacrifice, often ignored today? Some argue it’s obsolete, even dangerous, suggesting that observing Passover somehow denies Christ’s finished work. Yet Paul, long after the resurrection, called Jesus “our Passover” and told believers to “keep the feast” (1 Corinthians 5:7–8).

Passover isn’t about empty ritual. It’s a memorial of our deliverance—a reminder of the Lamb whose blood saves us. It’s the first step in God’s blueprint of salvation, connecting us to the story He’s still unfolding. Jesus fulfilled Passover, not to end it, but to deepen its meaning. As He said, He won’t drink the cup again “until the Kingdom of God comes.”

The Passover remains a powerful rehearsal of that plan—a way to stay anchored in Christ and aligned with His purpose until He returns.
