Jesus started His ministry by reading from Chapter 61 of an Isaiah scroll.
Luke 4:18-19 KJV
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the
Gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach
deliverance, to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty
them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”
3. In Christian circles, Isaiah is held in such high regard that is called "the Fifth
Gospel” because the prophet Isaiah speaks more clearly of Christ and the
Church than any others.
NT writers quote from Isaiah more than any other book of the OT.
Philip and the Ethiopian
https://dbhamill.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/eunuch.png
Acts 8:26-33 NASB
26 But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip saying, “Get up and go south to the
road that descends from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is a desert road.) 27 So he got
up and went; and there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of Candace,
queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure; and he had
come to Jerusalem to worship, 28 and he was returning and sitting in his chariot,
and was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go up and
join this chariot.” 30 Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and
said, “Do you understand what you are reading?” 31 And he said, “Well, how
could I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit
with him. 32 Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this:
“He was led as a sheep to slaughter;
And as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
So He does not open His mouth. (Isaiah 53:7)
33 “In humiliation His judgment was taken away;
Who will relate His generation?
For His life is removed from the earth.” (Isaiah 53:8)
Acts 8:26-33 NASB
Isaiah 53:8 TLB
8 From prison and trial they led Him away to His death. But who among the
people of that day realized it was their sins that He was dying for—that He was
suffering their punishment?
4. Acts 8:34-38 NASB
34 The eunuch answered Philip and said, “Please tell me, of whom does the
prophet say this? Of himself or of Someone else?” 35 Then Philip opened his
mouth, and beginning from this Scripture (OT) he preached Jesus to him. 36 As
they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said,
“Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?” 37 And Philip said, “If
you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe
that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” 38 And he ordered the chariot to stop; and
they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and he
baptized him.

Exodus 12:1-13
Liberation
Exodus 12:1-5 NASB
The Passover Lamb
1 Now the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, 2 “This month shall
be the beginning of months for you; it is to be the first month of the year to you.
3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, ‘On the tenth of this month they
are each one to take a lamb for themselves, according to their fathers’
households, a lamb for each household.
https://tse3.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.1QEy9SA-k6KLS-MOwEUG5gEsCE&pid=15.1
5. 4 Now if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his neighbor nearest
to his house are to take one according to the number of persons in them;
according to what each man should eat, you are to divide the lamb. 5 Your
lamb shall be an unblemished male a year old; you may take it from the sheep
or from the goats.
Exodus 12:1-5 NASB

This ritual represented the body of Jesus Christ that had no sin of its own.
Therefore, qualifying Him to be the spotless lamb sacrifice.

At the first Passover, God set in motion the sequence of events that would
culminate twelve centuries later with the sacrifice of the Paschal Lamb for all
mankind.

6. Exodus 12:6-7 NASB
6 You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month (four days later),
then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel is to kill it at twilight.

7 Moreover, they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts
and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.
Exodus 12:6-7 NASB
God told the Jews to smear the blood of a lamb above the doorposts of their
homes, which would cause the Angel of Death to 'pass over' those homes which
were under Divine protection.

Hebrews 10:26-29 NASB
26 For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there
no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a terrifying expectation of judgment
and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES. 28 Anyone who has set
aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three
witnesses. 29 How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who
has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood
of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
7. Do not trample underfoot the blood.
Exodus 12:8-9 NASB
8 They shall eat the flesh that same night, roasted with fire, and they shall eat it
with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
http://www.friendsofjehovahswitnesses.com/wp-content/uploads/unleaven.jpg
9 Do not eat any of it raw or boiled at all with water, but rather roasted with fire,
both its head and its legs along with its entrails.
Exodus 12:8-9 NASB
Centuries ago, during the Passover celebration, the lamb was roasted upright on
a pomegranate pole with a crossbar through its shoulders.
As a dry wood, pomegranate would not boil (which was prohibited).

8. Exodus 12:10-13 NASB
10 And you shall not leave any of it over until morning, but whatever is left of it
until morning, you shall burn with fire. 11 Now you shall eat it in this manner: with
your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you
shall eat it in haste—it is the Lord’s Passover. 12 For I will go through the land of
Egypt on that night, and will strike down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both
man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments—I
am the Lord. 13 The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live;
and when I see the blood I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to
destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
Exodus 12:10-13 NASB
Passover – "When I see the blood, I will pass over you,” the Lord told the children
of Israel (Exodus 12:13).
Nothing But the Blood of Jesus
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Refrain:
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

9. Lord, help me remember the things I ought not forget and to forget the things I
ought not remember.

Why is this day different than all other days?
Because it is the day that we learn just how much God loves us and how much
He loves those we come in contact with every day.
Jesus is their King too, and ours.
And God's Lamb for them too.
Are their garments spotless?
Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the Blood of the Lamb?
Are they?
Matthew 26:17-30

10. Matthew 26:17-30 ESV
The Passover with the Disciples
17 Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying,
“Where will You have us prepare for You to eat the Passover?” 18 He said, “Go
into the city to a certain man and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, My time is at
hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.’” 19 And the
disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover.
20 When it was evening, He reclined at table with the twelve. 21 And as they were
eating, He said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me.” 22 And they were
very sorrowful and began to say to Him one after another, “Is it I, Lord?” 23 He
answered, “He who has dipped his hand in the dish with Me will betray Me.

24 The Son of Man goes as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the
Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not
been born.” 25 Judas, who would betray Him, answered, “Is it I, Rabbi?” He said
to him, “You have said so.”

11. Institution of the Lord's Supper
26 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and
gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” 27 And He took a
cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of
you, 28 for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the
forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until
that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom.” 30 And when they
had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”
John 14:6 NASB
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to
the Father but through me.”
Romans 3:23 NASB
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
12. Romans 6:23a NASB
23a For the wages of sin is death,
• Death in this life (the first death) is 100%.
• Even Jesus, the one who doesn’t deserve death, died in this life to pay the
penalty for our sins.
• The death referred to in Romans 6:23a is the second death explained in
Revelation 21:8.
Revelation 21:8 NASB
8 “But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and
immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the
lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Romans 6:23b NASB
23b but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for
us.
Revelation 21:7 NASB
7 “He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be
My son.”
• Romans 10:9-10 explains to us how to be overcomers.
Romans 10:9-10 NASB
9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that
God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person
believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in
salvation.
Romans 10:13 NASB
13 for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
