So much of Passover points to Yeshua—the lamb, the blood, the unleavened bread—it would be simpler to tell you what doesn’t point to Him! Today, I want to show you how these ancient symbols reveal our Messiah.
First, let me explain what the Passover Seder is. The word “Seder” in Hebrew means “order.” It’s the traditional meal and ceremony that Jewish families have observed for thousands of years to commemorate our deliverance from Egypt. While the Passover itself is commanded in scripture, the specific seder rituals and traditions developed over time in Jewish practice. During this special evening, we eat specific symbolic foods, drink four cups of wine, and tell the story of the Exodus to our children.
Did Jesus celebrate the Passover Seder? Absolutely! In Luke 22:15, Jesus says to His disciples, “With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer…” Jesus not only celebrated it, He was eager to do so because He knew this ancient celebration was always about Him. This wasn’t just another religious ritual for Jesus; it was the moment He would reveal Himself as the fulfillment of everything the Passover represented.
Colossians 2:16-17 tells us that the festivals, new moons, and Sabbaths are “a shadow of things to come, but the substance is Christ.”
I want to show you how the Messiah is revealed in every symbol on the Passover plate and why this feast perfectly covers the timing of His death and resurrection—distinguishing him from any false prophet, false teacher, or false messiah.
Let’s go over the traditional seder plate the Jews have on their tables to this day. I promise you you won’t be left spiritually hungry today! Each element has incredible significance that points directly to our Messiah, Yeshua.
