Our Passover Lamb
τὸ πάσχα ἡμῶν
Christ Our Passover — sacrificed once, applied forever
Symbol: The blood on the doorpost — death passing over the house marked by the Lamb
“Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch — as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.”
1 Corinthians 5:7
Paul tells the Corinthians that Christ is our Passover — the Lamb whose blood means death passes over and a new life begins.
What the name means
The Passover lamb was not just killed; its blood was applied to the doorpost — Christ's blood must be applied to your life by faith.
He was sacrificed once — Passover does not repeat; the one Lamb is sufficient forever.
Get rid of the old yeast: because the Passover Lamb has been sacrificed, leave the old life behind and live unleavened.
How to pray this name
- Pray: 'Christ my Passover, apply Your blood to the doorpost of my life — let death pass over.'
- Pray it for cleansing from old patterns — the Passover demands a purge of the old yeast.
Christ my Passover, sacrificed for me, apply Your blood to my life. Let death pass over and let me live new. In the Mighty Name of Jesus! Amen.
Declaration
Christ is my Passover — His blood is on my doorpost and death has passed over me.
