The only church that keeps the New Covenant Passover

- Jinhai@ktimes.com

The Passover is the feast that contains the meaning, “Disasters pass over.” It falls in March or April by the solar calendar. It is originated from the Exodus 3,500 years ago when the Israelites kept the Passover according to the word of LORD. As a result, they were protected from the great plague of killing the firstborn and released from slavery in ancient Egypt (Exodus 12).

Following the Bible, the Church of God observes the Passover of the new covenant holy every year. As Christ washed the feet of his disciples before the Passover, the church holds a foot-washing ceremony before the Holy Supper of the Passover.

The Church of God is the only church nowadays that keeps the Passover of the new covenant according to the Bible. The church observes the seven feasts in three times annually: The Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Resurrecti­on Day, the Pentecost, the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and Feast of Tabernacle­s. Each feast contains the blessings of God such as eternal life, forgivenes­s of sins, resurrecti­on, and the Holy Spirit.

Last April, the Churches of God in 175 countries celebrated the Passover. In September and October, they have the autumn feasts: the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and Feast of Tabernacle­s.

“The Passover is God’s precious gift to mankind. We wish all people to keep the Passover and receive the blessings from God the Father and God the Mother,” said General Pastor Kim Joo-cheol.
