The Holy Days: Passover, Part 6.

Part 6: Modern Christian Observance of Passover.

The New Testament Passover is a memorial of the death of Jesus Christ as the true Passover Lamb.
We eat the broken bread and drink the wine in remembrance of His broken body and shed blood. His sacrifice makes possible the forgiveness of our sins. By partaking of the Passover symbols of bread and wine, we are proclaiming our continual faith and remembrance in Jesus’ sacrifice... for He is worthy of all our thanks and praise.

Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto Him, Where wilt Thou that we prepare for Thee to eat the Passover? And He said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at thy house with My disciples. And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the Passover. Now when the even was come, He sat down with the twelve... And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is My body. And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; for this is My blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. ~ Matthew 26:17 through 20 and 26 through 28.

And He took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is My body, which is given for you. This do in remembrance of Me. ~ Luke 22:19.

For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread. And when He had given thanks, He brake it, and said, Take, eat. This is My body, which is broken for you. This do in remembrance of Me. After the same manner also He took the cup, when He had supped, saying, This cup is the New Testament in My blood. This do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till He come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. ~ 1 Corinthians 11:23 through 27.

So, My children of Zion, celebrate Passover, but not as in the days of Moses, for even I, Christ the Lord, did keep this Sabbath before My death... and by My death and resurrection as the Lamb, did I become the new Passover, sacrificed for all. Celebrate Passover as a remembrance and as a thanksgiving of you and I united. For in the past, you were separated from Me... now we are together again, forever in the kingdom prepared by the Father. ~ Jesus speaking. [Excerpt from “I Am the Passover and Its Lamb... A New Covenant With Men”, Volume One, Letters from God and His Christ].

The New Testament Passover is a memorial of the death of Jesus Christ as the true Passover Lamb.

I am He, who is called the Lamb of God, the Lamb from Heaven without any spot or blemish, given as a ransom for many so that death will pass over you, and you shall liv forever. My blood is the blood shed for you to place upon your door, so you may be spared. No one goes to the Father unless they eat of the flesh of the Lamb, and drink His blood. Do this in remembrance of Me and My covenant with you, for I have already accomplished it and sealed it forevermore upon My rising. I am no longer the Lamb, but the Risen One, the Holy One of Israel, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. The Lamb was slain... My people redeemed in all the earth. I am risen forever and ever, clothed in glory and praise. So too will My people be clothed in glory, for they are cleansed and will be like the angels of Heaven in that Day.
Your Redeemer livs... death has passed over you. The Lamb was slain so you might liv. Eat and drink and give thanks in remembrance of Me, and I shall remember you and gather you up and hold you close to Me. Amen. ~ Jesus speaking. [Excerpt from “I Am the Passover and Its Lamb... A New Covenant With Men”, Volume One, Letters from God and His Christ].

When we partake of the Passover symbols, we again commemorate the death of Jesus. The Christian Passover is a reminder of our newly restored relationship with God, our Father, in and by Christ, who has restored us to glory... even now, being sons and daughters of the Most High God, once again and forever. Amen.

We are to continue observing the Holy Days (feasts) as we are taught by Christ and His apostles.
Paul, speaking to the Corinthians, told them to keep the feast. He also told them to keep the “ordinances” as he had taught them. Paul was not only teaching the Corinthians, but he was also teaching us, the faithful followers of Christ, to also observe the Holy Days, (or feasts), and to observe the “ordinances” according to how he taught them. The teachings of the New Testament not only applied to the believers of the apostles’ time, but also to anyone, today, who truly desires to follow Christ, faithfully abiding in His holy doctrine set forth in the Scriptures.

Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ, our Passover, is sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. ~ 1 Corinthians 5:7 through 8.

Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. Now, I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you... ~ 1 Corinthians 11:1 through 2.

For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till He come. ~ 1 Corinthians 11:26.

And He took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is My body, which is given for you. This do in remembrance of Me. ~ Luke 22:19.

We are to eat unleavened bread and drink wine for the Passover “meal”. (Children may have grape juice).
According to the New Covenant, we are to partake in the breaking of unleavened bread with our Passover meal. This symbolizes our acceptance of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sins. For He was our perfect, sinless sacrifice, the “unleavened bread”, broken for us for the forgiveness of our sins, which is also signified in the eating of the unleavened bread, that we are now also unleavened, having obtained forgiveness of our sins through Him. We are also to drink the wine, which symbolizes Christ’s shed blood for the remission of sins.

For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread. And when He had given thanks, He brake it, and said, Take, eat. This is My body, which is broken for you. This do in remembrance of Me. After the same manner also He took the cup, when He had supped, saying, This cup is the New Testament in My blood. This do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till He come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. ~ 1 Corinthians 11:23 through 27.

Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover must be killed. And He sent Peter and John, saying, go and prepare us the Passover, that we may eat. And they said unto Him, Where wilt Thou that we prepare?... And He said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer... And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves... And He took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is My body which is given for you. This do in remembrance of Me. Likewise, also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in My blood, which is shed for you. ~ Luke 22:7 through 9, 15, 17 and 19 through 20.

I am the living bread which came down from Heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall liv forever. And the bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. ~ John 6:51.

Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us. ~ 1 Corinthians 5:7.

Only those, who are truly “circumcised” in their hearts, should observe Passover.
In the Old Testament observance of Passover, only those who were circumcised in the flesh, were allowed to participate in the Passover feast (Exodus 12:48). However, because Jesus is the new Passover, we now keep it according to how He has taught us (Matthew 26:26 through 28). Christ did not teach that we must be circumcised in our flesh, but that we must be circumcised in our hearts (Romans 2:29). Jesus gave us this example by sharing the Last Supper with His disciples, who were circumcised in their flesh, but most importantly, they were circumcised in their hearts. Observing Passover is for those who are truly circumcised in their hearts... this is the true circumcision. Therefore, observing Passover is not for unbelievers, but for believers only.

But he is a Jew, which is one outwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter, whose praise is not of men, but of God. ~ Romans 2:29.

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. ~ 2 Corinthians 7:1.

Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. ~ James 4:8.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ~ 1 John 1:9.

Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. ~ 1 Corinthians 5:8.

Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. ~ 1 Corinthians 11:7.

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. Wherefore, come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. ~ 2 Corinthians 6:14 through 18.

Jesus, Himself, knowing He came into the world not to condemn the world, but to save it by being a living sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin, the Lamb of God, instituted the new Passover symbols we should observe in remembrance of Him, our “Passover”, (1 Corinthians 5:7). Below we see an example of the Corinthians keeping Passover, though disrespectfully, with the apostle, Paul, correcting them and teaching them how to keep it properly, with their hearts in the right place.

When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord’s supper. For in eating everyone taketh before another his own supper. And one is hungry, and another is drunken. What? Have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you. That the Lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread. And when He had given thanks, He brake it, and said, Take, eat. This is My body, which is broken for you. This do in remembrance of Me. After the same manner also He took the cup, when He had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in My blood. This do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till He come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come. ~ 1 Corinthians 11:20 through 34.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. ~ John 3:16.

So, My children of Zion, celebrate Passover, but not as in the days of Moses, for even I, Christ the Lord, did keep this Sabbath before My death... and by My death and resurrection as the Lamb, did I become the new Passover, sacrificed for all. Celebrate Passover as a remembrance and as a thanksgiving of you and I united. For in the past, you were separated from Me... now we are together again, forever in the kingdom prepared by the Father. Know this, even Passover has passed away... I am the Passover, for he who believes in Me has everlasting life. Keep this Sabbath as commanded by the Father. Passover as it was written in the days of Moses, do it not. Remember Me, and embrace and teach My covenant, and give thanks. The Passover as it was written is a sign post. Read its writing, and have understanding. Take its meaning to heart. ~ Jesus speaking. [Excerpt from “I Am the Passover and Its Lamb... A New Covenant With Men”, Volume One, Letters from God and His Christ].

Keep The Passover, Even All Seven Holy Days Set Forth by The Father...
And You Will Begin to Know and Understand The Glory of God and His Christ.

Thus says The Lord God of Israel:

Keep The Passover...

Keep it according to the New Covenant...

Keep it in faith and love.

Forsake these vanities of men, false doctrines, taken from that which is unseemly in the eyes of The Lord your God. Unleaven yourselves and give Me perfect praise, pure worship in Christ, your Sanctuary. Keep The Feast of Unleavened Bread also... Seven days as an offering of thanks for Him who I sent to you, the very same who has removed all leaven from within you.

My children, Jesus The Christ is your Passover!...

Yahoo Shoe ah is His name.

How is it that you do not remember Him, according to how He, Himself, has shown you?... Stop following the world and the perverse doctrines of men! Return to your First Love... And remember.

For upon this one sacrifice rests the salvation of all mankind...

The Lamb of God,
Who has taken away the sins of the world.

Yet I do not see you, even you, who call of yourselves by The Christ’s own name, keeping that which I, even I, have set forth that you should keep, even all Seven, (The Holy Days). Know you not, in these Seven is wisdom and understanding?... Yea, the very mind of God?! Yet you choose vanities on top of vanities. You are a perverse and adulterous generation, even all of you who call of yourselves by My own name, the name I have given My Son, The Holy One of Israel.

[Jesus The Christ speaking.] I tell you the truth...

The time is coming, and is already here,
When I shall pass through the door and reap, for the harvest is ripe...

And many shall be left wanting, in teers.

So then, prepare yourselves and make ready,
For the age of men is finished, and judgment shall reign seven times...

And then the end shall come, which shall also be the beginning.

I am not of this world... My children, you are of this world. And so all those, who love and accept Me, are no longer of this world, for I reside in them. And if I am in you, how is it you do not follow Me? For if you follow Me, you would do as I did, and learn from those I sent out, bearing the Gospel of My own name...

Follow Me, beloved, follow Me!... I shall bring you into glory.

I am coming quickly... Yea, I am already here.

Though you do not yet behold My face,
I have never left you...

Beloved, I am coming quickly.

And all those, who are truly converted in their hearts, shall be caught up and never leave Me... Nor shall they be separated from Me ever again. And these same ones shall also return with Me in all My glory, and not just them, but all those who I shall gather up, who did not love their lives more than Me, who sang the song of their new hearts, even unto death, even all these during the times of great tribulation.
So then, beloved, even all those who call of themselves by My own name, as I had received of The Father... Keep The Passover in remembrance of Me, even all of The Father’s most Holy Days, according to Me, and you shall begin to know My glory.

Behold, I am coming quickly to fulfill and restore all things!

As I am holy, so shall you also be holy...

And do that, which is holy.

Know this... Four are fulfilled...

Salvation assured, sin and death overcome, the Spirit given...

Three are coming quickly...

Sin destroyed, evil bound, My seat taken... Judgment...

A new day, even one thousand years.

Then a short season... Consummation.

Behold, an everlasting day in The Lord.

Amen... And Amen.

The Holy Days: Passover, Part 5.

Part 5: Chronology of Jesus’ Crucifixion.

The chronology of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection is critically important because the first three Holy Days, commanded by God that we keep forever (Leviticus 23), are fulfilled through these events. He was crucified on Passover, “slept” in His tomb during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and was resurrected on First Fruits.
Jesus “slept” in His tomb three days and three nights as He, Himself, spoke of in Matthew 12:40, saying, ”the Son of man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth”. The “heart of the earth” refers to His tomb, or grave, not the man-made “hell” most churches proclaim. To say that One such as Jesus, being completely sinless and pure, being the Son of God, would descend into the lake of fire, which is saved for the wicked, or worse yet, He somehow descended into a fictitious pit of torment... this is blasphemy! “Hell”, is the grave. Jesus descended into His grave for three nights and three days. (To better understand, please read the Letter, “Proclaim Not the Hell of the Church of Men... In Their Words is No Mercy Found, Only the Makings of Satan”, Volume Four, Letters from God and His Christ).

The crucifixion transpired on Passover.
Scripture, very clearly, shows that Jesus Christ was crucified on Passover. This is especially important to note because Jesus is our Passover, solidifying further that He is, indeed, our Messiah.

Now the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto Him, Where wilt Thou that we prepare for Thee to eat the Passover? And He said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto Him, The Master saith, My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at thy house with My disciples. And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the Passover. ~ Matthew 26:17 through 19.

But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the Passover. Will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews? ~ John 18:39.

The Chronology of Jesus’ Crucifixion.

Please note: The Hebrew calendar observes Holy days from the evening of one day to the evening of the next. Therefore, Passover occurred from sundown on Nisan 14 to sundown on Nisan 15, and so on. The Feast of Unleavened Bread began at sundown on Nisan 15 and lasted seven days, ending at sundown on Nisan 22. Please see the chart on page 42.

In Leviticus 23:5 through 6, we see that Passover begins the days of Unleavened Bread, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread is celebrated for the seven days following Passover. In The Bible, these eight days were often referred to as either Passover as a whole, or The Feast of Unleavened Bread as a whole... “Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called Passover” (Luke 22:1).

Evening of Nisan 14 (Tuesday evening): Jesus ate an evening Passover meal with His disciples and instituted the New Covenant symbols... ”And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat. This is My body. And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; for this is My blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins” (Matthew 26:26 through 28).
Tuesday night, after their meal, Jesus was betrayed by Judas, and arrested in the Garden of Gethseminee. During the night, Jesus was brought before the high priest (John 18, Luke 22, Matthew 26 and Mark 14).

Early Morning of Nisan 14 to evening of Nisan 15 (Wednesday morning to Thursday evening): Jesus was brought before Pilate early in the morning on Wednesday (Mark 14:2 and 15:1). After enduring scourging, mocking and severe beatings during the day on Wednesday, Jesus was crucified and died around 3 PM... ”And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, Lama Sabachthanigh? That is to say, My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me? Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias. And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave Him to drink. The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save Him. Jesus, when He had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost” (Matthew 27:46 through 50). This was the preparation day for the annual Sabbath, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, not the weekly Sabbath... (Mark 15:42, Luke 23:54).
The bodies could not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day... ”for that sabbath day was a high day” (John 19:31), so Pilate besought that their legs be broken. The legs of the two criminals, crucified with Jesus, were broken, but Jesus’ legs were not broken because He was already dead (John 19:31 through 33). Jesus’ body was then placed in the tomb just before sunset... ”When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple. He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out of the rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed” (Matthew 27:57 through 60).
In Matthew 12:40, Jesus tells us... “As Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth”. Wednesday night was the first night and Thursday was the first day that Jesus slept in the tomb.

Evening of Nisan 15 to evening of Nisan 16 (Thursday evening to Friday evening): This was the “high day” Sabbath, the first day of Unleavened Bread (John 19:31 and Leviticus 23:4-7). (The Feast of Unleavened Bread began the night before at sundown). It is described as the day after the “Day of Preparation”... ”Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate” (Matthew 27:62). Thursday night was the second night and Friday was the second day that Jesus slept in the tomb.

Evening of Nisan 16 to evening of Nisan 17 (Friday evening to Saturday evening): The high-day Sabbath now past, the women bought and prepared spices for anointing Jesus’ body before resting on the weekly Sabbath day, which began at sunset on Friday... ”And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him” (Mark 16:1)... and “And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment” (Luke 23:56). Friday night was the third night and Saturday was the third day that Jesus slept in the tomb. He arose at the end of the Sabbath, on Saturday, at sunset.

Evening of Nisan 17 (Saturday evening): The women rested on the weekly Sabbath (Luke 23:56), according to the Fourth Commandment (Exodus 20:8 through 11). Jesus rose at the end of the Sabbath, exactly three days and three nights after His burial... ”Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from Thee. But He answered and said to them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth” (Matthew 12:38 through 40). This day was the Feast of First Fruits, which was observed on the day after the weekly Sabbath following Passover (Leviticus 23). Jesus arose Saturday evening, at sunset, this being the beginning of First Fruits. This is why Jesus is called the “first fruits” of those that slept... ”But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept” (1 Corinthians 15:20).

Nisan 18 day (Sunday): The women brought the prepared spices early in the morning, and at that time Jesus had already left His tomb... ”Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulcurr, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them” (Luke 24:1 and John 20:1), finding that Jesus had already risen... ”And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcurr. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus” (Luke 24:2 through 3, also Matthew 28:1 through 6, Mark 16:2 through 6 and John 20:1). He did not rise Sunday morning, but at sunset the day before.

Why is the true chronology so important?

This does away with “Good Friday”, “Easter Sunday” and one of the false reasons the churches use to justify changing the Sabbath to Sunday. By rightly dividing the Word in the Bible, God’s glory is revealed! Showing all that whatsoever God does is very purposeful, precise and always points to Jesus, for He is the fulfillment of all things! Amen.

The Holy Days: Passover, Part 4.

Part 4: Jesus Christ Fulfills the Prophetic Old Testament Symbols of Passover.

From the beginning, God required offerings and sacrifices for the forgiveness of sins. Yet this was temporary because the blood of animal sacrifices could never sufficiently purge the sins of man. Only God, Himself, could purge our sins, once for all time, by sending His own Son to liv a sinless life as a man, in our image... sacrificed for us... the Just for the unjust... the Righteous for the transgressor... the Upright for the fallen.

Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire, Mine ears hast thou opened. Burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. Then said I, Lo, I come. In the volume of the Book it is written of Me. I delight to do Thy will, O My God. Yea, Thy law is within My heart. ~ Psalm 40:6 through 8.

But Christ being come a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building. Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood He entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? ~ Hebrews 9:11 through 15.

The penalty of sin is death. Jesus Christ, “the Lamb of God”, has caused death to “pass over” us because of His sacrifice for our sin, having died in our place on the cross.

Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ, our Passover, is sacrificed for us. ~ 1 Corinthians 5:7.

The great sacrifice of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, our Passover, was of such a kind, that only through the power of God, by His Messiah, could the sins of mankind be atoned for, by the precious blood of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, the perfect Lamb of God without spot or blemish... sacrificed for all through His death, even death on the cross... so all might be raised from death, having been freed from the power of sin which is death, by the resurrection of Christ Jesus, whereby He abolished sin and conquered death, forever. This is the New Covenant.

And for this cause He is the Mediator of the New Testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. ~ Hebrews 9:14 through 15.

God would save His people from His wrath and judgment by the blood of a sacrificial lamb.
In the Old Testament, God required the blood of a sacrificial lamb to spare His people from His wrath and the judgment He would pour out on Egypt. Likewise, by the New Covenant, we are spared from God’s wrath and judgment by the shed blood of Christ, our Passover.

For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment. I am the Lord. And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. ~ Exodus 12:12 through 13.

But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. ~ Romans 5:8 through 9.

I am He who is called the Lamb of God, the Lamb from Heaven without any spot or blemish, given as a ransom for many so that death will pass over you, and you shall liv forever. My blood is the blood shed for you to place upon your door, so you may be spared. No one goes to the Father unless they eat of the flesh of the Lamb, and drink His blood. Do this in remembrance of Me and My covenant with you, for I have already accomplished it and sealed it forevermore upon My rising. I am no longer the Lamb, but the Risen One, the Holy One of Israel, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. The Lamb was slain, My people redeemed in all the earth. I am risen forever and ever, clothed in glory and praise. So too will My people be clothed in glory, for they are cleansed and will be like the angels of Heaven in that Day.
Your Redeemer livs... death has passed over you. The Lamb was slain so you might liv. Eat and drink and give thanks in remembrance of Me, and I shall remember you and gather you up and hold you close to Me. Amen. ~ Jesus speaking. [Excerpt from “I Am the Passover and Its Lamb... A New Covenant With Men”, Volume One, Letters from God and His Christ].

Through the precious blood of Christ, we will escape not only God’s “judgment or condemnation” for our sins, but we will also escape His impending “judgments”, (John 5:24), during the seven-year period of tribulation, to come, (Daniel 9:27), being taken up to Heaven for a short time*, while God’s judgments fall upon the whole earth, (Book of Revelation). *Please see the “Rapture or Gathering Up” Study at, trumpet call of god dot calm, for more information.

The Sacrificial Lamb must be a lamb without blemish, (sin).
In Exodus 12:5, God required that the sacrificial lamb be without spot or blemish. Likewise, we are told many times in the New Testament, that Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, was without spot or blemish, meaning He was completely void of sin.

Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. Ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats. ~ Exodus 12:5.

Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a Lamb without blemish and without spot. ~ 1 Peter 1:18 through 19.

For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. ~ 2 Corinthians 5:21.

How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your consciences from dead works to serve the living God? ~ Hebrews 9:14.

I gave them the Lamb, without blemish, for them to sacrifice for the cleansing of all men. ~ God speaking. [Excerpt from “Wisdom Given to Timothy Regarding Those Who Killed Jesus the Christ” , Volume One, Letters from God and His Christ].

I am He who is called the Lamb of God, the Lamb from Heaven without any spot or blemish, given as a ransom for many so that death will pass over you, and you shall liv forever. ~ Jesus speaking. [Excerpt from “I Am the Passover and Its Lamb... A New Covenant With Men”, Volume One, Letters from God and His Christ].

[Jesus speaking.] Hear the Word of the Lord, the Risen One, your Redeemer: I had come to you as a man, clothed in the flesh of men, humble, My glory set aside, God become man, living as all have lived in the body, but not as man livs in the spirit... for I am clean, having no sin in My body nor in My spirit, having obeyed every command of the Father... blameless.
[God speaking.] Behold the Lamb of God! Without spot or blemish, sent to die for the sins of the world, bearing the full weight of transgression in His own body. My Son, You are, and will always be, the Risen Lamb of God, whereby You took the leaven of the world, having completely unleavened all men once for all time by Your blood, having been the perfect sacrifice for sin, acceptable to God, whereby men have been reconciled to the Father... they themselves becoming, once again, My sons and daughters, free to enter the Garden and My love from which they shall never again be separated... their new life lived in, and for, Christ Jesus, the Lord and Savior, in whom I am well pleased. ~ God and Jesus speaking. [Excerpt from “Unleavened”, Volume Five, Letters from God and His Christ].

Thus says the Everlasting who would be man, Emmanuel, born into the world, of a virgin, the chosen vessel by which the salvation of man comes, as a babe, growing, living as men, yet remaining unspotted from the world and sin, completely blameless... Amen. ~ Jesus speaking. [Excerpt from “He is Risen!” , Volume Five, Letters from God and His Christ].

The Israelites would be responsible for killing the sacrificial lamb.
The Passover lamb was to be killed by “the congregation of Israel”. God stated this in His instructions regarding Passover in Exodus 12. Likewise, the nation of Israel was responsible for the crucifixion death of Jesus Christ.

And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month. And the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. ~ Exodus 12:6.

When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put Him to death. ~ Matthew 27:1.

But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. ~ Matthew 27:20.

Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let Him be crucified. And the governor said, Why, what evil hath He done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let Him be crucified. When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person. See ye to it. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. ~ Matthew 27:22 through 25.

Those, who say the Jews condemned The Christ Jesus to death, speak rightly, for I, God Almighty, know all the works of men, and in that day did I harden their hearts to accomplish My purpose in the salvation of men. In the days of Abraham, even unto Moses, did I establish My people as the chosen to give sacrifice for the cleansing of sin... And so they only, and only they, did I chose to carry out My will, according to the New Testament I have set forth with all men in Christ Jesus. I gave them The Lamb, without blemish, for them to sacrifice for the cleansing of all men. No other nation would I allow to carry out My will in this, so all that written by the prophets of old would come to pass, and all that written of The Son of Man would be fulfilled in Christ Jesus. ~ God speaking. [Excerpt from “Wisdom Given to Timothy Regarding Those Who Killed Jesus the Christ”, Volume One, Letters from God and His Christ].

Nothing of the sacrificial lamb should remain until morning.
God commanded the Israelites, regarding the Passover meal, that none of it should remain until morning. Likewise, Jesus’ body was removed from the cross near evening, before the beginning of a high holy day, the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. ~ Exodus 12:10.

The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that Sabbath day was a high day,) besought Pilate their legs might be broken, and they might be taken away. ~ John 19:31.

When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple. He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out of the rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.” ~ Matthew 27:57 through 60.

We are to eat unleavened bread with the Passover meal.
In Exodus 12, God commanded the Israelites to eat unleavened bread with the Passover feast. Also, according to the New Covenant, we are to partake in the breaking of unleavened bread with our Passover meal. This signifies our acceptance of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice for our sins. For He was our perfect, sinless sacrifice, the “unleavened bread”, broken for us for the forgiveness of our sins, which is also signified in the eating of the unleavened bread, that we are now also unleavened, having obtained forgiveness of our sins through Him.

And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. ~ Exodus 12:8.

Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover must be killed. And He sent Peter and John, saying, go and prepare us the Passover, that we may eat. And they said unto Him, Where wilt Thou that we prepare? And He said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer... And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves... And He took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is My body which is given for you. This do in remembrance of Me. Likewise, also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in My blood, which is shed for you. ~ Luke 22:7 through 9, 15, 17, and 19 through 20.

I am that Bread of Life...This is the bread which cometh down from Heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. ~ John 6:48 and 50.

I am the living bread which came down from Heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall liv forever. And the bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. ~ John 6:51.

This is that bread which came down from Heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. He that eateth of this bread shall liv forever. ~ John 6:58.

Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us. ~ 1 Corinthians 5:7.

The feast of the sacrificial lamb is called the Passover.
This feast was called the Passover because the Lord “passed over” Israel during the night of the fourteenth. Likewise is Christ appropriately called our “Passover”, because by His shed blood, God’s wrath will “pass over” us.

It is the Lord’s Passover. For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment. I am the Lord. And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. ~ Exodus 12:11 through 13.

For even Christ, our Passover, is sacrificed for us. Therefore, let us keep the feast. ~
1 Corinthians 5:7 through 8.

My blood is the blood shed for you to place upon your door, so you may be spared... I am the Passover... for he, who believes in Me, has everlasting life. ~ Jesus speaking. [Excerpt from “I Am the Passover and Its Lamb... A New Covenant With Men”, Volume One, Letters from God and His Christ].

My children, Jesus the Christ, Yesh ooah is His name, is your Passover! ~ God speaking. [Excerpt from “Keep the Passover, Even All Seven Holy Days Set Forth by the Father, and You Will Begin to Know and Understand the Glory of God and His Christ”, Volume Six, Letters from God and His Christ].

Only those, who were ceremonially “clean” and “circumcised”, were allowed to partake of the Passover. Strangers were not allowed to eat of the Passover.
In the Passover of the Old Testament, God commanded that His people be “ceremonially clean” and also be circumcised. He also told the Israelites that no stranger may partake of the Passover. Likewise, today, we are not to take the observation of the Feast lightly. We are to observe the Passover, of the New Covenant, with reverence and joy and thankfulness for Christ and His great sacrifice. This spiritual cleanliness intimates the “clean” of the Old Testament Passover. We must be spiritually “clean”, truly being “circumcised” in our hearts, to partake of the Passover of the New Covenant. To observe the Passover, unworthily, is sin.

And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the Passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land. For no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. ~ Exodus 12:48.

But he is a Jew, which is one outwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter, whose praise is not of men, but of God. ~ Romans 2:29.

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. ~ 2 Corinthians 7:1.

Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye doubleminded. ~ James 4:8.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ~ 1 John 1:9.

Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. ~ 1 Corinthians 5:8.

Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. ~ 1 Corinthians 11:7.

Passover shall be unto God’s people a memorial.
God tells the Israelites, even from the very first Passover, that they would keep this day as a memorial forever. In the same manner, we are to observe Passover, with the new symbols instituted by Christ, as a memorial for Christ’s crucifixion. He was crucified on Passover and has become our Passover. Therefore, we, as believers, memorialize Him by observing Passover. He tells us to do this in remembrance of Him.

And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever. ~ Exodus 12:1-14.

And He took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is My body, which is given for you. This do in remembrance of Me. ~ Luke 22:19.

For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread. And when He had given thanks, He brake it, and said, Take, eat. This is My body, which is broken for you. This do in remembrance of Me. After the same manner also He took the cup, when He had supped, saying, This cup is the New Testament in My blood. This do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death till He come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. ~
1 Corinthians 11:23 through 27.

So, My children of Zion, celebrate Passover, but not as in the days of Moses, for even I, Christ the Lord, did keep this Sabbath before My death... and by My death and resurrection as the Lamb, did I become the new Passover, sacrificed for all. Celebrate Passover as a remembrance and as a thanksgiving of you and I united. For in the past, you were separated from Me...now we are together again, forever in the Kingdom prepared by the Father. ~ Jesus speaking. [Excerpt from “I Am the Passover and Its Lamb... A New Covenant With Men”, Volume One, Letters from God and His Christ].

I am He who is called the Lamb of God, the Lamb from Heaven without any spot or blemish, given as a ransom for many so that death will pass over you, and you shall liv forever. My blood is the blood shed for you to place upon your door, so you may be spared. No one goes to the Father unless they eat of the flesh of the Lamb, and drink His blood. Do this in remembrance of Me and My covenant with you, for I have already accomplished it and sealed it forevermore upon My rising. I am no longer the Lamb, but the Risen One, the Holy One of Israel, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. The Lamb was slain, My people redeemed in all the earth. I am risen forever and ever, clothed in glory and praise. So too will My people be clothed in glory, for they are cleansed and will be like the angels of Heaven in that Day.
Your Redeemer livs...death has passed over you. The Lamb was slain so you might liv. Eat and drink and give thanks in remembrance of Me, and I shall remember you and gather you up and hold you close to Me. Amen. ~ Jesus speaking. [Excerpt from “I Am the Passover and Its Lamb... A New Covenant With Men”, Volume One, Letters from God and His Christ].

Through faith, we keep Passover.
Through faith, Moses kept Passover, believing that God would indeed deliver him and the Israelites from Egypt. Likewise, should Christ’s church observe the Passover with faith in God and faith in Christ, fully accepting and acknowledging Jesus’ sacrifice for us, until He comes again.

Through faith he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest He that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. ~ Hebrews 11:28.

For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death till He come. ~ 1 Corinthians 11:26.

Jesus Christ Is The “Lamb Of God”.

Jesus Christ, our Passover, is the Lamb of God. He is the Lamb, without blemish or sin, slain for our sakes so we may have eternal life with Him. Through Jesus Christ’s own shed blood, He reconciled us to our Father in Heaven, allowing us once again be the children of God....Thank you, Jesus!

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold The Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. ~ John 1:29.

And I beheld, and lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him that sat upon the throne. And when He had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints. ~ Revelation 5:6 through 8.

Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in Heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever. ~ Revelation 5:12 through 13.

Behold the Lamb of God! Without spot or blemish, sent to die for the sins of the world, bearing the full weight of transgression in His own body. My Son, You are, and will always be, the Risen Lamb of God, whereby You took the leaven of the world, having completely unleavened all men once for all time by Your blood, having been the perfect sacrifice for sin, acceptable to God, whereby men have been reconciled to the Father... they themselves becoming, once again, My sons and daughters, free to enter the Garden and My love from which they shall never again be separated... their new life lived in, and for, Christ Jesus, the Lord and Savior, in whom I am well pleased. ~ God speaking. [Excerpt from “Unleavened”, Volume Five, Letters from God and His Christ].

The Holy Days: Passover, Part 3.

Part 3: The Passover of the New Testament.

Jesus, Himself, kept the Passover prior to and during His ministry. His parents, His disciples and His followers also kept the Passover before and after the crucifixion.
However, after Jesus’ crucifixion, the followers of Christ now observed Passover as Christ had taught them, in remembrance of Him. They did not keep the Passover of the Old Testament but observed the new Passover, with the new symbols set forth by Christ, of which Jesus Christ had fulfilled on the cross.

The Passover Feast was observed before Jesus’ crucifixion, by Jesus, His parents and His followers.

Now His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover. And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother knew not of it. ~ Luke 2:41 through 43.

And the Jews’ Passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. ~ John 2:13.
Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, in the feast day, many believed in His name, when they saw the miracles which He did. ~ John 2:23.

The Passover Feast was observed before Jesus’ crucifixion, by Jesus, His parents and His followers.

Now the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto Him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for Thee to eat the Passover? And He said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at thy house with My disciples. And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the Passover. Now when the even was come, He sat down with the twelve... And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is My body. And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; for this is My blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. ~ Matthew 26:17 through 20 and 26 through 28.

The Passover was observed after Jesus’ crucifixion, with the new symbols set forth by Christ... the New Covenant.
Jesus, Himself, knowing He came into the world not to condemn the world, but to save it by being a living sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin, the Lamb of God, instituted the new Passover symbols we should observe in remembrance of Him, our “Passover”. (1 Corinthians 5:7). Below we see an example of the Corinthians keeping Passover, though disrespectfully, with the apostle, Paul, correcting them and teaching them how to keep it properly, with their hearts in the right place.

When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord’s supper. For in eating everyone taketh before another his own supper. And one is hungry, and another is drunken. What? Have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you. That the Lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread. And when He had given thanks, He brake it, and said, Take, eat. This is My body, which is broken for you. This do in remembrance of Me. After the same manner also He took the cup, when He had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in My blood. This do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till He come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come. ~ 1 Corinthians 11:20 through 34.

Bible Letter Study - God's Forgiveness

God’s forgiveness can be summed up in one name - YahShua HaMashiach, Jesus The Christ; and by one
event. - His sacrifice on the cross. This sacrifice was of such a kind, that only by the power of God, through
the Messiah, could the sins of mankind be atoned for. With the precious blood of God’s only Son, Jesus
Christ, the perfect Lamb without spot or blemish, all nations were sprinkled. Jesus laid down His life, even
enduring death on the cross, so all who believe and accept His sacrifice would be freed from the power of
death, which is sin, thereby granting them eternal life...
YahShua, the Greatest of All Loves.
The greatest love of all is to die for those who hate you. For I did not come just to die for My friends and
those who love Me... I came to give up My life for those who hate Me, and for those who do not know Me,
and for those who know of Me but wish to have nothing to do with Me, who hate My name and the sound
of My voice, so in time they may come to know Me and hear Me. And when this day comes, there will be
great rejoicing, for I had already saved them and forgiven them by My blood, though they did not ask. ~
Jesus. [Letters from God and His Christ, Volume Six. - Understand Love, Know Forgiveness... Partake of the
Whole Fruit of the Spirit and Make It Part of You].
Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; Yet we
esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was
wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we
are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every
one, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us
all. ~ Isaiah 53:4-6.
... Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and
to give His life a ransom for many. ~ Matthew 20:28.
Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures
forever. Oh, give thanks to the God of gods! For His mercy endures
forever. Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords! For His mercy endures
forever: ~ Psalm 136:1-3.

Do not anguish over your past sins, for I have washed them away... All of them... Past sin, present sin, and yes,
your sins of tomorrow. ~ Jesus. [Letters from God and His Christ, Volume One. - Jesus Christ’s Love and Forgiveness
Are With You].
Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; Blessed is the man to whom the
Lord shall not impute sin. ~ Romans 4:7-8.
All those forgiven must be taken up... The Father does not punish those He has forgiven through Me, lest My
sacrifice be made of non-effect and all are punished and judged. If all are punished and judged, then none are
forgiven. Know this, all are forgiven. It is only their rejection of the Spirit and My sacrifice, in which they are
already forgiven, that leeds them into punishment and judgment. ~ Jesus [Letters from God and His Christ, Volume
Three - Restoration in Marriage]
There are three that testify on My Son, Christ and Jesus’ behalf: They are the Spirit, the Water and the Blood; and
by these three shall you be saved. These three are in agreement, and are one, leading one way along the road
called Holy. ~ God [Letters from God and His Christ, Volume Four. - “One”].
“There was a certain creditor who had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. And
when they had nothing with which to repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell Me, therefore, which of them will
love him more?” Simon answered and said, “I suppose the one whom he forgave more.” And He said to him,
“You have rightly judged.” Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered
your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with
the hair of her head. You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came
in. You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil. Therefore I say
to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves
little.” ~ Luke 7:41-47.
NOTE: The verses above are similar to Luke 18 below, where Jesus teaches the same lesson, but
according to a humble and penitent man, compared with a man who thinks himself righteous.
Those, who are forgiven much, love the Lord more than those who are forgiven little... Just as
those who humble themselves, begging for mercy, love the Lord more because of His mercies.
The high-minded man loves the Lord less, because he does not feel he is in need of a Savior or
the mercies of God..
“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and
prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men--extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even
as this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’ And the tax collector, standing afar off,
would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’ I
tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be
humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” ~ Luke 18:10-14.
Who comes to love Me the most? Those whom I have forgiven a little or those forgiven much?... For this reason did
I come into the world - to save the afflicted who are gravely ill. In Me shall all find healing from sin, by My death
suffered on the cross, raised to life the third day... As all those who shall also receive life in the third day. ~ Jesus
[Letters from God and His Christ, Volume Six - Let the Lord Lead and His Word Be Your Guide].

...Come now and confess all that you have done, and ask My forgiveness. Cast all that has become burdensome
upon Me. I shall carry it for you. Oh beloved, open your heart to Me, and let Me fill it to overflowing with the
Water of Life. Trina, My most precious one, you have done wrong, yes, as have all. Not one upon the earth has
done right. Know this beyond question... You are forgiven, for your name was written in My book before the
very foundation of the earth. ~ Jesus. [Letters from God and His Christ, Volume One. - The Seas Rage; The Earth, It
Trembles... All is Quiet For Those Who Rest In the Lord].
And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him,
having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was
contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. ~ Colossians 2:13-14.
He has sinned as you have, as all have, and is forgiven equally to you and those who have sinned. Even those
who have sinned greater or lesser than Timothy are forgiven equally of My Covenant. All sin is sin and requires
forgiveness leading to salvation. ~ Jesus. [Letters from God and His Christ, Volume Two. - Harken to Those Who
God Has Sent to You, For They Prepare the Way of Christ’s Coming and Will Guide Many Out of the Storm and
Many More Through the Storm].
Thus says the Lord to His servant: You are forgiven your sins, by the blood shed for you, by My only begotten Son. By
His blood, alone, are you made worthy. By His suffering were you cleansed. By His own stripes were you healed for
today’s sins, for yesterday’s sins and those of tomorrow. One, who asks anything in Jesus’ own name, shall surely have
it, starting with forgiveness of sins. ~ God [Letters from God and His Christ, Volume Six - Men of Promise].
Though we remain imperfect, yet by our belief in God’s only Son, accepting His sacrifice for the forgiveness of
our sins, are we made righteous. Though we yet stumble, by our belief and love for Christ, we will surely be lifted
up... We shall not fall. By grace we are saved... The gift of God in Christ Jesus. Amen. ~ Timothy. [Letters from God
and His Christ, Volume Six - A Letter from Timothy, Inspired by the Spirit - To Elder Moses].
Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; and by
Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
~ Acts 13:38-39.
We have entered into an inward spiritual covenant, the circumcision in our hearts, a freedom from sin by
forgiveness, an everlasting atonement in the blood of Christ. ~ Timothy, Inspired by the Spirit [Letters from God
and His Christ, Volume Four - Love, Forgiveness and the Law (The Ten Commandments)].
Beloved, you are beloved of the Lord and have become My disciple; and if you ask of Me forgiveness, you shall
surely have it for even all you have done... Yet if he comes to Me, and asks of Me forgiveness, a continual washing
in My own blood, he shall have it. Even if he comes to Me seven times, even seven times seventy times, I shall
forgive him. I forgive all those who come to Me... So then, beloved, come to Me... I shall forgive you. ~ Jesus.
[Letters from God and His Christ, Volume Six. - Blessed Are Those Who Overcome For My Name’s Sake].
I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for His name’s sake. ~ 1 John 2:12.
Let all forgiven be rewarded equally to their forgiveness which is equal. ~ God. [Letters from God and His Christ,
Volume Two - God is Sovereign].
Yes, I have died for the forgiveness of your sins... Those of today, yesterday, and those sins of tomorrow. Yet man
does continually stumble in this world, and so he must continually come to Me... And even seventy times seven
times shall I cleanse him and lift him up. ~ Jesus [Letters from God and His Christ, Volume Six - Born Again].

You speak without full understanding of the mercies of God, fulfilled in Christ. You only need look to the thief on the
cross and have understanding. A man, having never known baptism by water, nor stepping foot in any church, was
assured of salvation, having asked the Christ with a true and penitent heart. In that same moment, He was forgiven and
will enter into paradise at the Last Day, as Jesus had spoken to him that day, saying, “In truth I speak to you this day, you
shall be with Me in paradise.” ~ God. [Letters from God and His Christ, Volume Six - To the Church at the Lord’s Right
Hand... Hear the Word of the Lord].
I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send you, to open their eyes, in
order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins
and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me. ~ Acts 26:17-18.
All those, without sin, liv forever and suffer not. And so I was without sin and abide forever, and came to carry the
infirmities of those who came to Me in faith, asking that I should heal them. In the same way, I carried their sin, though
I had no part in sin Myself. How can one, who is in need of a physician, heal others? Or one, who has sinned, bear
and forgive the sins of another? Trent, I was completely clean, so by this, you and all those who seek Me, might also
be clean. Remember and understand My words, spoken and written down in the Scriptures of Truth: No man takes
My life from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have the power to lay it down, and I have the power to take it up again.
This commandment have I received of My Father... I am and will always be the perfect Lamb without spot or blemish...
Given up for many... Sacrificed... I am the restoration of all things. ~ Jesus. [Letters from God and His Christ, Volume Six.
- Whatsoever You Have Done to the Least of These, My Children, Assuredly I Tell You, You Have Done It Even Unto Me,
Their Father, Says the Lord Your Redeemer].
Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” And they divided His garments and cast
lots. ~ Luke 23:34.
Note: Even during the crucifixion, Jesus was our Advocate (1 John 2:1), asking the Father to forgive
even those who were responsible for His suffering (Luke 23:34). If we were in His place, would we
have done the same? Unfortunately, most people would not. Truly the Lord’s ways are not our ways
(Romans 11:33)...
By grace are we saved (Ephesians 2:8).
Behold the Lamb of God!... Without spot or blemish sent to die for the sins of the world, bearing the full weight of
transgression in His own body. My Son, you are, and will always be, the Risen Lamb of God, whereby you took the
leaven of the world, having completely unleavened all men once for all time by your blood, having been the perfect
sacrifice for sin, acceptable to God, whereby men have been reconciled to the Father... They themselves becoming
once again My sons and daughters free to enter the Garden and My love, which they shall never again be separated...
Their new life lived in and for Christ Jesus, the Lord and Savior, in whom I am well pleased. ~ God. [Letters from God
and His Christ, Volume Five. - Unleavened].
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly
places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without
blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good
pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He has made us accepted in the Beloved. In Him
we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made
to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His
good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather
together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth--in Him. ~ Ephesians 1:3-10.

And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be
forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective,
fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. ~ James 5:15-16.
All sin is sin, and requires forgiveness. All sin is not equal, only forgiveness is equal. All sin is forgiven through the
cross. Only the people’s rejection of that sacrifice leaves them in the dark, separated from God. ~ God. [Letters
from God and His Christ, Volume Two - Those of Steadfast Faith in Christ are Free From Doubt; In Them Sin Has
Also Vanished].
My beloved daughter, I have both redeemed and forgiven you, by Him I sent to suffer and die for you. It
is only your rejection of that Truth that leads you into temptation. ~ God [Letters from God and His Christ,
Volume Four - “One”]
Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter; but he
who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation”-- because
they said, “He has an unclean spirit.” ~ Mark 3:28-30.
I have forgiven all their sins!... Now, yesterday’s, and tomorrow’s... Nor do I remember them. ~ Jesus. [Letters from
God and His Christ, Volume Seven. - The Master’s Table].
For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled
with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord,
fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened
with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the
Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from
the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption
through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. ~ Colossians 1:9-14.
...There is no sin too great that I have not forgiven you. I sent My Son to die for you and raised Him so you may
have eternal life with Me. Repent, and accept My Son, and I will separate your sins from you as far as the east is
from the west, and remember your iniquities no more. Open your heart to Me, and I will fill it with running waters
of joy, love and peace. ~ God. [Letters from God and His Christ, Volume One. - Boundless Love].
For your repentance to Me and love for the Son has caused me to remember your sin no more. It is separated from
you as far as the east is from the west. ~ God. [Letters from God and His Christ, Volume One. - A Warning About
Falling Back Into Sin and the Ways of Demons].
Forgiveness.
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a tree. Him God has exalted to His
right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. ~ Acts 5:30-31.
The Lord lives, and forgives those who call on His name with all humility and supplication. Come to Me and
repent. To this end I gave My life as a ransom and payment in full for your sins past, present and those sins of
tomorrow. Now go out My beloved sheep, forgiven in My blood, and sin no more. ~ Jesus. [Letters from God and
His Christ, Volume One - Return Home, Your Father Calls].
All sin is sin and requires forgiveness, which is equal, as is the reward equal, given freely to all who ask. ~ God.
[Letters from God and His Christ, Volume Two. - Let the Lord Lead, You Only Need Follow... Let Go of Your Pride].

Even so, call on My name in all repentance and faith and you shall liv, for I first died for you and was raised so
you may also be as I am and dwell with Me where I dwell. ~ Jesus. [Letters from God and His Christ, Volume Two
- Innocence Destroyed in Evil Arrogance, With Slothful and Wicked Ignorance, Wrought by False Truth, Permitted
Under “Human Rights”].
Thus says the Christ, the Word of God:... Do you not understand I have broken all the cords that
bind you, and freed you from your chains of imprisonment? Yet you say, ‘Cast these cords from us’?
Do you not know the power and mercies of God?... I am that power, through which God has shown
His mercy... Beaten, mocked, bruised, scourged, nailed to the cross, pierced and buried, stricken by
God... Only to rise again on the third day, so you would be spared and healed in My blood, shed for
your transgressions against God.
Thus says the Lord God, the Only God: My mercies endure forever, for all who partake and accept of
My mercies. For these shall liv forever, abiding in the light of the Lord, because of My Mercy sent to
them. There is none other, nor any other way found by which you may enter into the love and mercy
of God. One Son given up for many... One Way to sanctification and life, life without end... For I so
loved the world, I gave My only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but
have everlasting life. ~ Jesus and God. [Letters from God and His Christ, Volume Five. - Stricken].

Bible Letter Study - Forgiving Others

Forgivenes.
Part 2. Forgiving Others.
“Forgive everyone who sins against you, and I shall also forgive you,” says the Lord.
Are we only blessed by having obeyed God, knowing that disobeying God is sin? Or has God blessed us with
a deeper understanding? To obey God is righteousness, but to understand why we obey is a greater joy and a
blessing. We must forgive all others, so their sins against us can be released... And in this are we also freed,
by letting go of anger and not giving into hate. By allowing ourselves to be filled with anger and hate, we are
prevented from the fruit of the Spirit, having consumed the corrupt fruit of the devil. Give up hate, and judge not
your neighbor; neither hold onto trespasses. There is no forgiveness in the judging of those who have wronged
us. The person, who does not judge, has already forgiven them in their own heart. Trust in God! He is the only
Righteous Judge. We are the judged, having passed from judgment into life, by the grace of God, through Christ.
Rather, let us be fully converted in our hearts, embracing complete forgiveness, as Jesus has completely forgiven
us and those who have also sinned against us, by His death on the cross.
In absolute forgiveness is there also absolute freedom... Complete joy.
Yet I say to you, forgive him and love him. Honor your father despite his iniquities and wrongdoings. For the Son
has taken his punishment and forgiven him, if he so chooses to receive it. Therefore, as I have forgiven you in the
blood of My most beloved Son, also must you forgive those who have sinned against you. ~ God [Letters from
God and His Christ, Volume One - See With the Eyes of Christ]
I have commanded you to love one another and forgive those who have hurt you, as I have done for you. ~ Jesus.
[Letters from God and His Christ,. Volume Six. - The Kingdom of God and His Christ Is Coming... Awake!].
Tear down these walls and forgive. ~ Jesus. [Letters from God and His Christ., Volume Six. - Love One Another
and Obey All I Command You, Says the Lord Your Redeemer].
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;
bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ
forgave you, so you also must do. ~ Colossians 3:12-13.
As for they whom you love and also hate, control your anger. Careful, I say to you. Hate that which is against
God... Do not hate them who were created by God. For He is rich in mercy and forgiveness. ~ Jesus. [Letters
from God and His Christ,. Volume One. - The Servants of God Have Been Sent Out to Blow Their Trumpets to the
Nations... Hear Them, for the Spirit Dwells Within Them].
But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me, but all of you to some extent--not to be too severe. This
punishment which was inflicted by the majority is sufficient for such a man, so that, on the contrary, you ought
rather to forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with too much sorrow. Therefore I
urge you to reaffirm your love to him. For to this end I also wrote, that I might put you to the test, whether you
are obedient in all things. Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I
have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ, lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are
not ignorant of his devices. ~ 2 Corinthians 2:5-11.

I forgive you for those things spoken evil of me, as I am commanded by Him who has forgiven me in His blood
and suffering, who also has forgiven you if you so choose to accept that forgiveness. For we are commanded
that we forgive every one who sins against us, as we are forgiven by Him who all have sinned against. ~ Timothy.
[Letters from God and His Christ,. Volume Three. - The Word of God is Truth... Leading to Life].
And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you. ~ Ephesians 4:32
Yet one more command do I give to you, of which you know: Forgive. Do not just speak it aloud or say you have
done so. For it is written, and remains standing, “For if you do not forgive even every one who has trespassed
against you, neither will My Father in Heaven forgive you.” ~ Jesus. [Letters from God and His Christ,. Volume Six,
- Love One Another and Obey All I Command You, Says the Lord Your Redeemer].
For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men
their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. ~ Matthew 6:14-15
It is the strong man that chooses love and forgiveness through sacrifice of himself and his own desires, not
following after the ungodly men of this world. His justification is in the Lord and he chooses to follow Me... in My
very footsteps. ~ Jesus, [Letters from God and His Christ, Volume Six. - Keep Not the Company of the Wicked, This
is Where All Seeds of Dissension Grow].
And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one. ~ Luke 11:4.
Many in your life have sinned against you, and all have sinned against Me. Have I not forgiven them through My
Son’s sacrifice? ~ God. [Letters from God and His Christ, Volume One. -The Christian Path].
I ask you to love those who have hurt you; and to love them is to forgive them as I have forgiven them and you.
~ Jesus. [Letters from God and His Christ, Volume Six. - Understand Love, Know Forgiveness, Partake of the Whole
Fruit of the Spirit and Make It Part of You].
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. ~ Matthew 6:12
And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven
may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your
trespasses. ~ Mark 11:25-26
Yet in their heart, of which I know, they have not confessed; neither have they let go of offenses; neither have they
forgiven even everyone their sins, which have been wrought against them; neither have they given up that which
I require; neither, in their weakness, has My strength been made perfect in them. ~ Jesus. [Letters from God and
His Christ, Volume Six. - Whatsoever You Have Done to the Least of These, My Children, Assuredly I Tell You, You
Have Done It Even Unto Me, Their Father, Says the Lord Your Redeemer].
Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he
sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive
him. ~ Luke 17:3-4.
My commandment to you is to love those who have wronged you and forgive them, starting with your own self;
and be patient with those whom you have wronged. ~ Jesus [Letters from God and His Christ, Volume Six. - Bear
Fruit According to the Spirit of Truth].

Do you not know the Word of My mouth, in where I taught you, saying, “You must forgive everyone who has
sinned against you, and if you will not, neither can My Father in Heaven forgive you your trespasses”? ~ Jesus.
[Letters from God and His Christ, Volume Seven. - The Master’s Table].
“But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and
pray for those who spitefully use you. To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from
him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who asks of you. And from
him who takes away your goods do not ask them back. And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to
them likewise. But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who
love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the
same. And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners
lend to sinners to receive as much back. But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return;
and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.
Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn
not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you: good
measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same
measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” ~ Luke 6:27-38
Remember the words of your Savior also, you shall forgive your brother even seventy times seven times, as I have
forgiven you. ~ God/ [Letters from God and His Christ, Volume One - Stand Firm in the Face of Those Who Would
Mock You for My Name’s Sake].
Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to
seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. Therefore
the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. And when he had
begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. But as he was not able to
pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be
made. The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, ‘Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’
Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. But that
servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him
and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’ So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged
him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ And he would not, but went and threw him into
prison till he should pay the debt. So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved,
and came and told their master all that had been done. Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You
wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. Should you not also have had compassion on
your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’ And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until
he should pay all that was due to him. So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart,
does not forgive his brother his trespasses.” ~ Matthew 18:21-35.
