Many Christians will be observing the Christian Passover on the evening of April 18 this year. The central focus of that observance is the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Yet many others claiming to be Christians do not seem to realize that the apostle Paul commanded Christians to observe Christ's Passover sacrifice (1 Corinthians 11:23-28). He tells us that by partaking of the symbols of that ceremony, we "proclaim the Lord's death till He comes" (verse 26). Jesus Himself promised that He would observe the Passover with His disciples in the coming Kingdom of God (Matthew 26:29).
The New Testament elaborates on many details of His Passover sacrifice. And throughout the Old Testament, many prophecies speak of this greatest of events.
In the book of Isaiah we find many passages about the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth. Let's focus on four passages from the book of Isaiah that have been called the "servant songs" of the Messiah.
These scriptures reveal the tremendous love Jesus has for the people of the earth. They reveal in detail the willingness He would exhibit in paying the ultimate sacrifice for the sins of the world. They prophesy of the Savior who was to come with compassion and courage. These prophecies also look forward to the time when Jesus Christ will return to rule the entire earth in God's coming Kingdom.
