I’m often asked if Christians should celebrate Passover. The short answer is “yes” with this caveat, first understand what you are celebrating and why, worry about the how later. Passover is more than just the celebration of leaving slavery, it is one of the signs that you are choosing to enter into a covenant relationship with the Creator of the universe. That is why Exodus 12; 47—48 is so important. “ All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.” This relationship should not be taken lightly and while I don’t want to appear superficial, the surgical act of circumcision is the first sign of being in a covenant with the Creator for men. To make this commitment was and still is a serious decision. This isn’t a “Jewish” thing, this is respecting the parameters of the covenant relationship that the Creator requires (Before Judah was even born). Everything from circumcision to the blood on the doorpost were outward signs of obedience and a willingness to live the way the Creator designed us to live.
