While Christians certainly marvel at the Exodus story, our passover story is the cross. Last weekend, we were reminded again of the central tenet of our faith, i.e., the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Without the crucifixion, we are lost and dead in our sins. Without the resurrection, we have no life. The cross of Jesus is our passover. God "passes over" our sin because Jesus himself made himself who had no sin to be sin for us. (See 2 Corinthians 5:21.)
Let us not forget the events of the past. Let us not forget the Good Friday story. Let us not forget the Easter story. We are to be reminded again and again and again of the incredible grace given to us through Christ. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed (1 Corinthians 5:7).
