What Should the Passover Mean to You? - William F Dankenbring - March-April 1972

William F Dankenbring

The significance of the Passover almost transcends human understanding! Therefore, as this most solemn observance of the year approaches once again, we should review the meaning of the Passover, and consider the tremendous price Christ paid - FOR US - so we can partake of the Passover "in a worthy manner," and with a sense of deep appreciation. To most of the Jews, He was just another rabble-rouser - a religious fanatic who disrupted society. To the Pharisees, He was an archrival, a competitor, a dangerous ringleader of a new "cult," a threat to their authority over the people. To the Romans, He was just another Jewish troublemaker - a popular "magician" who deceived people and stirred up discontent. To Pilate, He seemed "harmless" - but since the Jewish leaders wanted Him put to death, and to avoid a seditious riot, Pilate gave in to their request. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
