Spiritual significance of passover and how to incorporate it into my daily life.?

Passover is the remembrance of the Lord's protection of the Children of Israel when the death angel went through Egypt where they were being held as slaves. \n\nGod commanded them to sacrifice a lamb without blemish. Then to strike the blood on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses. When He saw the blood, they would be safe when the death angel passed through. God commanded the Israelites to keep the Feast of Passover every year to remember that. (Exodus chapters 1-12)\n\nIt was also because this instance was a sign and symbol of what the Lord would do for all of us to provide salvation. When the Lord Jesus Christ started his public ministry John the Baptist introduced him by saying "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."\n\nYou see the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). This is not just physical death but eternal spirital death in the lake of fire (Revelation 20:11-15). Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, and lived a sinless life. Since He never sinned He did not have to die. He took our place and took our punishment. He shed His blood to cleanse our sin. He willingly laid His life down to buy our salvation. Then the third day He arose from the dead in victory over sin, death, hell, and the grave. \n\nThe best way to incorporate Passover into your life, to honor God - is to receive the gift of salvation that He has purchased for you. Admit you are a sinner and can't save yourself and that Jesus gave Himself as your offering. Believe that He arose from the dead and wants to save you then ask Him to come into your heart as your Lord and Saviour. Then the blood is applied to your heart and you will be safe from God's judgement just as the Children of Israel were when they trusted and obeyed God at the first passover.

Try the Temple Mount Faithful or the Temple Institute in Israel.  Both are looking toward this.

Your husband is absolutely correct hon and you should listen to him for his heart is in the right place. I am a person who doesnt have much of a faith but was brought up christian and am with a Jew.  Quite the mix according to our families.  You just have to hold your head a little higher and know that your heart is where it belongs.  If it gets hard just let it out from time to time.  The comments will come but remember they are only words and when you are home and night you can close the door and not let the world inside.  I wish you luck hon.

Interesting, but my translation says "God takes his stand in his own congregation".  (New American Standard).  We would need to discuss it with an expert in ancient hebrew to form an informed opinion, so take it easy.

Sadly, your question neglects an important detail...\n\n...the Israelites were specifically allowed to choose either a lamb or a GOAT for Passover, both in Egypt and for later commemorations.\n\n(Exodus 12:5) The sheep should prove to be sound, a male, a year old, for you. You may pick from the young rams [male sheep] or from the goats.

You go girl!!!!\n\nThere is a passage in the prayer service at my temple that is repeated every Friday night.  Basically, it says, "that which is hateful to you, do not do to others.  This is the whole Torah - the rest is commentary."  I'm paraphrasing but that is what it says.  Lead a good life and everything else will be alright.  If other people don't like it - to heck with 'em.\n\nA

Have Courage\n\nFather, thank You for comforting and assuring me of Your divine intervention as I walk this journey here on earth. I dwell, remain and settle down under the shadow of the Almighty. I say of the Lord that You are my Refuge, my place of Protection. You are my God, True and Faithful. You are my Security. You did not give me a spirit of fear – but a spirit of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control. In Your name I bind my emotions to the control of the Holy Spirit and go forth with confidence. Amen.

Regardless of how you might feel, none of the old feasts have any religious significance in these times of the new covenant.\n\nJesus eternally fulfilled the Passover at the Last Supper, and he fulfilled all that was written about him in the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms, when he died and rose again.\n\nIt is Jesus himself who is our new covenant sacrifice and celebration, and our Redeemer, High Priest, Prophet, and King.\n\nNow, we Christians celebrate Christ all day and every day, by living as faithful members of his new covenant church.\n\nAll the old things have passed away in him, as Jesus and the grace he obtained for us, infinitely exceeds and transcends everything which came before.

Hebrews 10:24, 25 "And let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as YOU behold the day drawing near"\n\nOn various occasions, large crowds assembled before Jesus Christ, realizing many benefits, as in the case of the Sermon on the Mount. (Mt 5:1–7:29) While these were not like specially arranged assemblies, at times they lasted long enough to make necessary the feeding of the congregated multitudes, a circumstance that Jesus met with the miraculous multiplication of food. (Mt 14:14-21; 15:29-38) Often Christ gathered his disciples and gave them spiritual instruction, and after his death his followers met together, as on the day of Pentecost 33 C.E., when the holy spirit was bestowed upon such assembled ones.—Ac 2:1-4.\n\nIt was the custom of early Christians to meet together, generally in small groups. However, sometimes at their gatherings “quite a crowd” would assemble. (Ac 11:26) Jesus’ half brother James found it appropriate to give spiritual Israelites counsel against showing favoritism toward the rich at a public gathering (Gr., sy·na·go·ge´) of the congregation.—Jas 2:1-9.\n\nImportance of Assembling. The importance of taking full advantage of Jehovah’s provisions for assembling to gain spiritual benefits is emphasized in connection with the annual Passover observance. Any male who was clean and was not on a journey but who neglected to keep the Passover was to be cut off in death. (Nu 9:9-14) When King Hezekiah called inhabitants of Judah and Israel to Jerusalem for a Passover celebration, his message was, in part: “You sons of Israel, return to Jehovah . . . do not stiffen your neck as your forefathers did. Give place to Jehovah and come to his sanctuary that he has sanctified to time indefinite and serve Jehovah your God, that his burning anger may turn back from you. . . . Jehovah your God is gracious and merciful, and he will not turn away the face from you if you return to him.” (2Ch 30:6-9) Willful failure to attend would certainly have indicated a forsaking of God. And, while such festivals as the Passover are not observed by Christians, Paul fittingly urged them not to abandon regular assemblies of God’s people, stating: “Let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as you behold the day drawing near.”—Heb 10:24, 25\n\nThe Bible lays down principles of upbuilding associations (1Co 15:33; Heb 10:24, 25; Pr 5:3-11; 13:20)\n\nGatherings for the worship of God and a consideration of his law were important in the congregation of Israel. (De 31:12; Ne 8:1-8) Similarly, meetings for the worship of Jehovah and a study of the Scriptures are an essential feature of the Christian congregation of God, the writer to the Hebrews admonishing the recipients of his letter not to be forsaking such gathering of themselves together. (Heb 10:24, 25) Activities in the synagogues of later Jewish history included the reading and teaching of the Scriptures, the offering of prayers, and the giving of praise to God. Such features were carried over into places of Christian assembly, though without the ritualistic accretions that had eventually developed in synagogue services. In the synagogue no sacerdotal class was set apart, sharing in Scripture reading and exposition being open to any devout male Jew. Comparably, no clergy-laity or similar division existed within the early Christian congregation. Of course, neither therein nor in the synagogue did the women teach or exercise authority over the men.—1Ti 2:11, 12.\n\nJesus’ disciples followed his footsteps in Christian educational work . They not only preached the good news of God’s Kingdom everywhere but also taught those who would listen. (Ac 2:42) They, like

It is one of G-d's commandments to the Jewish people only. People have found practical (health) reasons to show this is beneficial. But actually, this is not the reason. The reason is that G-d wanted to take eating and food into the realm of holiness - to elevate this basic appetite (physical) and make it holy in the real world. Many of G-d's laws have this purpose - to take basic needs and appetites, and transform them, elevate them, in order to have spiritual holiness in our lives.
