Who Is This? Jesus the Passover Lamb

They wanted a king who would overthrow Rome, but God sent them a king who would overthrow sin and death. They wanted a warrior who would crush their enemies and God sent a servant who would be crushed for their iniquities and for their sins. They wanted power and they wanted glory and they wanted to be the ones in charge. And God sent someone that would lead them with humility and sacrifice. And so it was anything but what they were looking for that day. [00:56:13] (34 seconds)  #ServantKingNotWarrior

And then he took the wine that was in front of them and the juice that we have here today, we we take it and he said, this is my blood And it's shed for you. That blood that goes over your heart, you as an individual, I shed it because I want to, I love you. It's not being taken from me, I give it. I give it to you because I want to. And this is the blood. This is the forgiveness that you and I, we have together. And they took the cup and they all drink. [01:08:04] (40 seconds)  #CupOfForgiveness

As Jesus sat with them, he stopped and he gave thanks for everything that they had experienced together. And he told them, this bread I've broken for you. My body is what's gonna be broken for you. Unimaginable things are going to happen this week that you couldn't have planned or thought of or even wanted to see. But I do this because I want to cover your sins. I am your Passover lamb. And they took the bread together and they ate it. [01:07:13] (50 seconds)  #BreadBrokenForYou

God wants to give you all of those things, but the first thing that he would be concerned out besides all of that would be what he displayed in all of this ministry and he would ask, but let's talk about your sin first because that's the reason I'm really here. The lamb of God. The lamb that they celebrated at Passover from Egypt is now who we focus on when we get to Easter. When we talk about Passover, we're focused on somebody different, our own lamb.

Today, my question for you is, who is Jesus to you? What do you need from him? These people were looking for all kinds of things. Do you need peace in your life? Peace in relationships? Maybe you need provision. Maybe you're struggling. Like, God, please meet my needs financially. What do you need from him even medically? Maybe you need some kind of healing in your body. You're struggling with something. Maybe you just need some direction, some wisdom. [00:57:06] (38 seconds)  #JesusForEveryNeed

But you know what? Jesus Christ, he died on the cross once. And all we have to do is receive him once. And he comes into our heart and he cleanses us from everything. But when we come to a moment like this and we think about the seriousness of what Jesus did for us, it's also an opportunity for us to get right with him. To make sure our hearts and our minds and everything are pure inside of us. And that's why this is such an important thing for us as believers when we do it.

We believe that he died on the cross for our sins and we believe that he comes into our heart and he cleanses us from sin. Romans six twenty three says that the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ. There's only one way to God and there's only one way to the father and that's to come through Jesus and we confess him as Lord and savior. [00:58:46] (27 seconds)  #OneWayThroughJesus

The lamb that his blood is across our door. It's across our heart and it's what saves us. So how do I get there? You may be sitting here today, you may be going, I didn't realize that all of this was so important and that Jesus and what he did for me was so important. It's super easy. Admit admit you're a sinner. The bible says we've all sinned and fall short of the glory of God. What do we do? We believe. [00:58:15] (31 seconds)  #AdmitBelieveReceive
