As Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread draw near, it is good to notice what Jesus Himself taught during this time of year. The book of John records the accounts of three Passover seasons, including the “heavenly things” that Jesus revealed, and to which He directly associated with the purpose for which God the Father sent Him, with His mission to save the world, and with the promise of eternal life to those who believe in Him. These words of life and truth can enlighten our understanding of the meaning and purpose of Passover, at least in part, from the perspective of God the Father and Jesus Christ. Knowing these “heavenly things” can help us to prepare for and then partake of the Passover in full assurance of faith.
