Numbers 25-28 Christ, our Passover

“On the fourteenth day of the first month is the LORD’s Passover,"  - Numbers 28:16

The Israelites were to celebrate the Passover each year as a reminder of God's leading them out of bondage in Egypt and His great provision while leading them to the Promised Land. 

The blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt. “This day shall be for you a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD; throughout your generations, as a statute forever, you shall keep it as a feast.

And you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day, throughout your generations, as a statute forever.   - Exodus 12:13-14, 17

This celebration was also a foreshadowing of things to come when God would send His one and only Son to earth to die as the ultimate sacrifice for the sins of the world.

Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. - 1 Corinthians 5:7
