Passover: the spotless Lamb of God was slain What we call Easter is a worldly substitute for what God set in place in the Feast of Passover. At least Easter should remind us of the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ and His resurrection on the third day. By Peter Whitcombe, Jesus First Church
The Feast of Passover is one of the seven Feasts of the Lord God set in place as His appointed feasts and as holy convocations (Leviticus 23:1–2). The word translated ‘appointed’ refers to appointments in history when God says He will intervene. The word translated ‘convocations’ literally means dress rehearsal. These appointed convocations, the Feasts of the Lord, are times that God has set in the Hebrew calendar (which is the Biblical calendar) when His people are to gather together for a holy dress rehearsal to prepare them for that which He would do in fulfilment of the dress rehearsal. God gave specific instructions for what was to be done and the specific days of the year in which they were to occur. It was only in doing the specific things on the specific days as God instructed, and by knowing the rights and the ceremonies in these dress rehearsals, that His people would know the real thing when God came to fulfil what they were rehearsing. For 1500 years, God’s chosen people kept the Feast of Passover on Nisan 14,
doing ritually what God had said, in very detail, and on the day God had specified. Fifteen hundred years after these dress rehearsals began, exactly on Nisan 14 – on the exact day the dress rehearsal had been observed for 1500 years – the Feast of Passover was fulfilled when Christ the Passover Lamb, the spotless Lamb of God was slain. His death fulfilled every single detail God had set in place in the dress rehearsal. In fulfilment of the first four of the Feasts of the Lord, Christ was crucified on Passover. He was buried on the day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. He rose again on Nisan 16, the third day – on the day of the Feast of First Fruits. 50 days later, on the very day the Jews were observing the Feast of Pentecost, God came by His Spirit and fulfilled exactly what had been observed in the dress rehearsals for 1500 years. This Passover, we thank God for the substitutionary death of Jesus for our sin and for His resurrection giving us new life in Him. See you on Sunday at 10am or visit us at www.jesusfirst.org.nz
Resolute by Bay Bible – Part 2 of 3 Last week we said that “the word resolute implies belief and attitudes with conviction and determination”. When we read through the Gospel of Luke, we can recognise a conviction in the life of Jesus that kept Him completely focussed on His

life’s mission: to go to the cross. In Luke 9:51-53 we read “When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem... But the people did not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem’’. The people did not like what Jesus was doing – resolutely or
determinedly going to the cross. But Jesus kept going, and didn’t waver when they crucified Him on Good Friday. He did this to show that “God so loved the world, that He sent His only Son… so that whoever believes in Him, may have eternal life”. Many people today don’t think Jesus’ death on the cross, and resurrection three days later (on Easter Sunday), is something that matters to them. Do you? This Easter, think about which beliefs and convictions really matter in your life. Won’t you consider being a resolute follower of Jesus Christ? By Richard Roodt, Bay Bible Fellowship

The Weekend Sun
Here’s a confession: Easter makes me uncomfortable I grew up hearing that Jesus died for me, that the cross was the only way for God to forgive my sin, and I took it all on board. But the questions remained; like what is redemptive about the violence of the cross, and how does Jesus’ death acquire forgiveness for us? If this is our only way of understanding the cross, we end up with Jesus rescuing us from an angry God, with a God whose love is overshadowed by his anger. And when we get to this point, we are no longer talking about God at all. Jesus came to tell us about a father
who waits with forgiveness for his wayward child to come home. Jesus makes it even clearer, when he says “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father” (John 14:9). The cross is not about an angry God being appeased by the blood of the innocent. Such a God is not worth worshipping. Yet the cross speaks of God sharing life with his people, with all the injustice, violence and tragedy that comes with it. Because of the cross, God has entered our pain. Because of the cross, we’ll never be alone again. Now that’s a God I can love. Rev Malcolm Gordon – Music Director at St Peters Presbyterian
Celebrating true meaning of Easter For many of my readers Easter will be no more than the last long weekend before winter. But also for many of you, this is the time when you, like me, remember the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ more than 2000 years ago. The Romans crucified many people in that time, so why take time to celebrate this one? As far as something to remember goes, this seems gruesome, a long time ago, and on the other side of the world – so why do we remember this event which lasted a just few days and was centred on just one man? This crucifixion was different. The man on the cross was the son of God. The suffering was not for the wrong he had done, but for the wrongdoing of the whole world. The death that he experienced was not final, and he proved that when three days
later he came back from the dead to live forever more. The celebration of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus is one of the great turning points of history and of the Christian faith. So I pray that this weekend will be more for you than a just holiday, but rather an opportunity to celebrate the love of God shown to us in the giving of His son.
There are a number of events on this Easter in churches throughout our city and maybe one of these could be a help for you to remember and understand the true meaning of Easter. By Stephen Tyrrell, pastor at South City Baptist Church, Tauranga

Owner Chris O`Sullivan says most insurance companies offer a discount on premiums if homes have an alarm installed and this can go a long way towards any monitoring fees.
