As Christians, it is obvious whose example we should follow; Christ’s. However when we look in the bible, one of the most sacred things that Christ gave us can not be found in the “Christian” churches today, it is the Feast of the Passover.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

If we are Christians it is obvious that we have to believe Christ. Then if Christ says that we must do something to have eternal life, then we have to do it.  Since we believe in Christ we will follow it and therefore have eternal life.

However to say that you follow John 3:16 , but then do not listen to Christ’s command is a total hypocrisy.

Then since we believe Christ let’s see specifically what Christ commanded we do in order to have eternal life.

John 6:53 “…’I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”

Then Christ is speaking very plainly for us.  If we do not eat his flesh and drink his blood we DO NOT have eternal life. But if we do , we will recieve eternal life.  Then since we believe him, we should certainly understand that we have to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

However, now there is another dilemma, How can we eat his flesh and drink his blood?  Everyone knows that it is through the bread and wine.  But which bread and wine? We have to follow Christ’s example, not man’s.  Then let us ask Christ and see  when he gave us his body and blood.

Luke 22:7-15 ” Then cam the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover Lamb had to be sacrificed. Jesus sent Peterand John saying, ‘Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.’ …….They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover. When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. And he said to them, ‘I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.”

Then clearly Christ is about to celebrate the feast of the Passover with his disciples.  He even says I have “eagerly desired” to eat this Passover before he was to suffer and be crucified.

Then this Passover Christ is about to celebrate is important, let’s see what it is Christ gave to us on this Passover night.

Luke 22:19 “And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”

Then on the night of the Passover Christ took bread and said that this bread was his body.  He also says “do this in remembrance of me”, but what is he doing, clearly he is celebrating Passover.   Let’s understand the next verse.

Luke 22:20 “In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.”

Then on the night of the Passover Christ made a covenant. He called it the “new covenant“.  The old covenant was started in the time of Moses.  The Israelites were to keep the old covenant Passover as an everlasting covenant (Ex 12:14) Then an everlasting covenant means forever, so Passover is something that is to be kept forever.  The one who commanded the Israelites to keep the Passover forever was God.  Then that very God came in the flesh, his name was Jesus Christ.  Then Jesus being God almighty should contradict his word? Omniscient , Omnipotent God contradicts his word. No Way!

Through the Passover of the New Covenant given in the New Testament, Christ gave us a way to Eternal life. On Passover, Christ said that bread is not really bread, and wine is not really wine, it is the body and blood of Christ.  Without it he also said we can not have eternal life. No man can take bread and wine, and say that it is actually flesh and blood, but God can.  And when God promised that bread and wine was really flesh and blood was on the Passover.

Then if we believe Christ we must realize we have to celebrate the Passover feast, the Apostles all new this, and we can see accounts of the Apostles keeping the passover feast of the new covenant.

1Cor 5:7 ” For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the festival.”  What Festival is Apostle Paul referring to here; clearly it is the feast of the Passover in accordance with the new covenant that Christ made.

Then if Passover is so clear in the bible, the next question might be; then why is it not celebrated in churches?  The answer is when we look back through history, that Passover was officially abolished during the Nicean Council in 325 A.D. , this is a fact that is clearly recorded in history. Upon the abolishment of the Passover it was completely wiped out, and no longer celebrated, although the Apostles celebrated it because Passover is the very covenant Christ gave us to have Eternal Life.

Then without Passover there is no life; Jn 6:53 “..unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you.”

Then merciful, loving  God is going to leave it that no one can attain salvation, certainly not. Then in the bible what is God’s plan to restore eternal life.

Heb 9:28 ” so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.”

So the sign that second coming Christ has come is that people can have salvation. But Passover is the very thing that Christ gave us so that we can have Eternal Life i.e. have Salvation.  After all salvation to dying souls is not money, or a nice car, it is life eternal.

Then when 2nd coming Christ comes he must restore the Passover Feast.  All though no one celebrates the new covenant Passover in accordance with Christ’s command, The Church of God World Mission Society does.  That’s because our Heavenly Father, in addition to restoring the feasts of God , and fulfilling all bible prophecy brought with him the covenant of life; The Passover.

Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong eternal thanks and praise be unto you forever and ever! You restored the covenant of life the Passover.
