Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as
ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for
us;
John 1:29 The
next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and said; Behold the Lamb
of God, who taketh away the sin of the world! |
|
Old
Testament |

Testament |
| No
Bones Broken... |
| Exodus 12:46 In
one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth aught of
the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone
thereof. |
John 19:36 For
these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone
of him shall not be broken. |
| Without
Blemish (i.e. sin) |
| Exodus 12:5
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first
year; ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats; |

with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish
and without spot; |
| Without
Sin... |
| Exodus 34:25
Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the
passover be left unto the morning. (no sin) |
I Corinthians 5:7 Purge out
therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are
unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us;
II Corinthians 5:21 For he hath
made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might
be made the righteousness of God in him.
Hebrews 7:26 And
not as those high priests who offered up sacrifice daily, first
for their own sins, and then for the sins of the people; for he
needeth not offer sacrifice for his own sins, for he knew no
sins; but for the sins of the people.
|
| Was A
Male... |
| Exodus 12:5
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year;

unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the
government shall be upon his shoulder; |
Matthew 2:6
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth
a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, (which, being
interpreted, is, God with us.) |
| Of Its
Body, We Shall Partake... |
| Exodus 12:8 And
they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with
fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat
it. |
John 6:51 But
I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any man
eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I
will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the
world.
John 6:53
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except
ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, ye have
no life in you.
|
| No
Stranger to Partake...without first making covenant. |
| Exodus 12:48 And when a stranger
shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the Lord,
let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and
keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land; for no
uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
Exodus 12:43 And
the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover;
there shall no stranger eat thereof;
Exodus 29:33 And
they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was
made; to consecrate and to sanctify them; but a stranger shall not
eat thereof, because they are holy.
|
I Corinthians 11:27 Wherefore
whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily,
shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
I Corinthians 11:29 For
he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh
condemnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

Nephi
8:61
Therefore if ye know that a man is unworthy to eat and
drink of my flesh and blood, ye shall forbid him; nevertheless ye
shall not cast him out from among you, but ye shall minister unto
him, and shall pray for him unto the Father, in my name, 62
And if it so be that he repenteth, and is baptized
in my name, then shall ye receive him, and shall minister unto
him of my flesh and blood;
4
Nephi
1:29
And it came to pass that when two hundred and ten years had passed
away, there were many churches in the land; yea, there were many
churches which professed to know the Christ, and yet they did deny
the more part of his gospel, insomuch that they did receive all
manner of wickedness, and did administer that which was sacred
unto him to whom it had been forbidden, because of unworthiness.
