The weeks between Passover and Pentecost seem less familiar than the first few days after Jesus’ death. We know that Jesus died on the cross, was buried, and three days later rose from the dead. But what about after that? What about the times Jesus appeared to His disciples during His 40 days on earth and the coming of the Holy Spirit? What do these days mean for Christ-followers today? This is a new series that will walk us through the Scriptures and 50 days that changed the world. After Jesus resurrection He was on the earth for 40 days. Then the disciples were in the upper room fasting and praying and seeking God for 10 days. And then Pentecost came! Sunday June the 5th is Pentecost Sunday and so this whole series of messages is guiding us toward Pentecost Sunday and we’re going to believe God for a mighty outpouring of his Holy Spirit.
Passover to Pentecost
50 Days that Changed the World
Message #1: Passover
Text: Exodus 12:11, 14, 21, 23
Matthew 26:26-28

When the word Passover is used in scripture it is referring to one of three subjects:
1. The Festival of Passover
Included within Passover were three other feasts:·
Passover, Unleavened Bread and Firstfruits
· Christ fulfilled all three of these feasts!
2. The Meal of Passover
The Passover Meal refers to salvation.
It is not the same as communion.
Communion cannot save you, only Jesus can.
3. The Passover Lamb
John 1:29 NKJV
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”
Jesus Christ is the Passover lamb.
The blood of Jesus stands guard at your door and the destroyer cannot come into your house to get your family.
