This is a three part series
In reading the scriptures the other day I was noticing the time span of The Messiah's crucifixion at the hands of the Gentiles and of the insistence of the Jews.(All are guilty before G-d. The Gentiles crucified the Messiah because the Jews wanted it done. The Messiah hanging on the tree could not have been accomplished without both the Jews and Gentiles taking part.)
The Messiah was crucified on Passover, a holy day that foreshadowed His sacrifice Leviticus 23:4,5 "These are the feasts of the L-RD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the L-RD's passover."In this memorial of G-d's deliverance of the nation from Egyptian bondage G-d foreshadowed his means of mans deliverance from sin. "Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversations received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ (Messiah), as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:" I Peter 1:18,19.
Just as the death angel passed over the Hebrew dwellings that had the blood on the door post so G-d will pass over judgement of the soul that has put their trust in the precious blood of the Messiah, for that person's sins were already judged on the tree and paid for by the blood of the Messiah.
