Summary:
What is the gift of Passover?
The gift of this Passover is the rolling away of another age.
The ultimate Passover is the Passover of Christ's crucifixion.
Show Notes:
• The Passover of Christ on the Cross ended one age and created another.
• Christ took over the same way the Captain of the Lord of Host did before Jericho.
• Christ began His ministry by proclaiming the Kingdom of God. He gave His life for it; the pattern is complete.
• God ordained and is directing everything. It is time for us to let go and He will do what He wants to do.
• Christ has already won the victory. Our whole being is required to be given to His Lordship and Kingdom. This is a wakeup call. The Captain has come to earth through a many membered body.
• He is requiring more from us, which is preparing us for the Kingdom. This is a drastic life style change.
• Christ has won the victory. Our whole is being is required to be given to His Lordship and Kingdom.

Take Away:
The gift of Passover is the rolling away of an age where we thought we had to do it.
Christ on the cross, He literally took over.
In my heart I want to refuse any credit that could put on me for what God has done.
The whole man is being required to be given to the Lord for His purposes.
