Thus it is implied that the letter of the law is to give place to its spirit, those outward rites of Judaism having no intrinsic efficacy, but symbolizing the spiritual truths of Messiah's kingdom, as for instance the perfect holiness which is to characterize it.
This site's exposition
ye shall have the passover
on Ezekiel 45:21-25
The calendar closes with the two great pilgrim feasts, the passover on the fourteenth of the first month with its seven days of unleavened bread and the prince's own sin offering, and the seventh month's feast kept the like way, offering for offering. Gill notes the vision restores the old appointed times without inventing new ones, the same feasts the law already named, now folded into the temple's ordered worship. The chapter that opened with a measured strip of land ends with a measured round of the year, land and time both given their proper order.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
Christ is our passover, that is sacrificed for us. We celebrate the memorial of that sacrifice and feast upon it, triumphing in our deliverance out of the Egyptian slavery of sin and our preservation from the sword of the destroying angel, the sword of divine justice, in the Lord's supper, which is our passover-feast, as the whole Christian life is, and must be, the feast of unleavened bread.
