Passover vs Easter

Did you know that the reason Easter is separated from Passover was that the early Church fathers wanted nothing to do with ‘the perfidy of the Jews’ and therefore set their own date?

This is sad to consider, as the Passover brings out great truths for us about our Master and points the Jewish people to Him as well. Sadly the early Church fathers also ex-communicated those who still chose to celebrate Passover and declared a curse on them!

The Church has lost so much as we have gone away from the Passover celebration.

Join me as we research the ancient roots of our faith.

In Depth Teachings

Join us as we study the correlation between the events of the annual Passover celebration – set in place 1500 years before Jesus, to the final events of His life on earth. 

The Passover sacrifice has 5 fundamental differences between it and the Sin Offering.
However, the Passover sacrifice is very close to a totally different kind of offering – learn more in this video with Messianic understanding into the Passover!

Discover the special rules and customs that governed the seating at the Last Supper – including the seat for the bodyguard, the guest of honour and the lowest seat in the house – and discover how the table seating was a final test of the hearts of Jesus’ disciples.

We hope this teaching resource has  been a blessing to you.
