The Lord’s Supper is the Christian Passover, deliberately instituted within the Jewish Passover to proclaim the continuity of God’s covenant and to declare salvation as victory: just as Israel celebrated deliverance from Egypt and the death of the firstborn, so the church celebrates Christ, God’s Firstborn, who bears the covenant death-sentence to deliver His people and inaugurate the new creation. Both Passovers are covenantal and family-centered, designed to instruct children, require preparation through self-examination (the purging of leaven), and celebrate election by grace with sanctification by obedience. The Supper is not a mournful ritual of retreat but a forward-looking proclamation of triumph Christ’s death until He comes announcing victory in time and eternity, judgment on the enemies of God, and inheritance of the promised land. To observe the Table without this note of conquest is to deny its meaning, for “Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us; therefore let us keep the feast” (1 Cor. 5:7–8). #ChristianPassover #LordsSupper #CovenantTheology #ContinuityOfScripture #SalvationAsVictory #ChristOurPassover #KingdomOfGod #BiblicalWorship #CovenantFamily #NewCreation
