CORE: Jesus in the Passover

CORE

Apr 1

Speaker: Pastor Kyle Horner

Description: In this CORE teaching, “Jesus in the Passover,” we explore how the Passover meal in Exodus 12 reveals the hidden glory of Jesus and points directly to His finished work on the cross. What was once a shadow in the Old Testament becomes reality in Christ—the Lamb, the sacrifice, and the Redeemer. From the blood on the doorposts to the unleavened bread, every element tells the story of salvation.

We unpack how Israel’s deliverance from Egypt mirrors our own freedom from sin, and why true redemption was never about human effort, but the blood of the Lamb. This teaching also highlights how God doesn’t overlook sin—He covers it—and how Jesus fulfills every requirement of the Passover, bringing us into new life, freedom, and covenant relationship with Him.

This teaching is part of CORE, a monthly class at The Connect Church designed to help believers grow deeper in Scripture, theology, and the gospel.

Topics include:

Passover as a shadow pointing to Jesus as the true Lamb (Colossians 2:16–17)
Slavery in Egypt as a picture of sin, bondage, and our need for redemption (Romans 3:23)
Why freedom cannot be earned—only received through the blood of the Lamb • The meaning of “Passover” as covering, not just passing over
The significance of the blood on the doorposts and its connection to the cross • Unleavened bread and the call to live free from sin (1 Corinthians 5:7)
The elements of the Seder and how each reveals Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection
Jesus as the fulfillment of the sacrifice—both the offering and the High Priest
The Cup of Redemption and the establishment of the New Covenant (Luke 22:20)
From slavery to freedom: God’s invitation into new life, wholeness, and holiness
Why redemption leads to praise and a life lived on mission
