Msg #2113 Palm Sunday 10^th of Abib

What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

On the 10^th day of the 1^st Hebrew month of the year, called Abib, Hebrews were to separate their passover lamb from the rest of the flock, observe him for three days to assure no spot or blemish, then, on the 14^th day of the month, they were to slay the passover lamb. The next day, the 15^th of the month, was a Sabbath Day no matter what day or the week it was on, it was the 1^st day of the feast of unleavened bread. It was widely known that the Only Begotten Son of God, as our Passover Lamb, died in that selfsame prescribed hour on Passover Day. God paints an elaborate fifteen-hundred year old picture with this passover celebration; it foretells his perfect offering of a perfect Passover Lamb. But few have really traced Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem to the separation of the lamb from the rest of the flock. That Palm Sunday was indeed the public selection of a perfect lamb that would be the Passover Lamb for all mankind. He was selected on Sunday, the 10^th of Abib. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the 11^th, 12^th and 13^th of that month, Jesus was daily teaching in the Temple, and found to be without spot or blemish. He was teaching with an authority that scared the chief rulers. On the day before Passover, Jesus washed the feet of his disciples, had the last supper, took three to the garden of Gethsemane, and at midnight was betrayed into the hands of those angry rulers. The Bible gives great detail of the “trial” and crucifixion on that Passover Day. “He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed” (Isa 53:5).
