Passover in The New Testament
n"The meaning of
the Christian Passover is both commemorative
and prefigurative, just like the Old Testament
Passover. On the one hand, it commemorates the past deliverance from bondage and sin through Christ's suffering and death. On the other hand, it prefigures the future celebration of the marriage Supper of the Lamb (Rev 19:9) at the establishment of God's Kingdom. Christ Himself alluded to the eschatological fulfillment of Passover when He said to the disciples that He would not eat Passover again 'until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God' (Luke 22:16)."
