John 19:28-30

After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, saith “I thirst!” Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth. So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. He said it is finished.


The most extraordinary event that has never happened in human history and won’t occur again; the free, voluntary surrender of God to human judgement. It was not really a human decision but a sin effect on human choice. the devil thought he can get rid of the lawful owner of humanity.


1 Corinthians 2: 6 However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, 8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.


It is really wonderful and marvellous for the creator to allow his creatures to act against Him and still demonstrate great love towards Them.


John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.

Yes, undo He knew the treatment He would received from us, it did not restrain Him from coming and fulfil His goal ; to give his life in order to put us back on track.


Matthew 20: 17 Now Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples aside on the road and said to them, 18 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death, 19 and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again.”


God created us for a purpose, we are not product of an hazardous circumstance.

even wicked people are for a purpose. Pharaoh of Egypt, was one of them.

Exodus 9:16 But indeed for this purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.


Jesus lived a life of purpose.

Mark 1:38 But He said to them, “Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because for this purpose I have come forth.”

John 12:27 “Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour.


Even common component of our being function according to a continuous and Permanent purpose; never will you see your eyes doing what your mouth is supposed to accomplish; even our inner members work accordingly to their eternal goal.

Romans 12 4 For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function,


That is to say, no matter how numerous we can be on earth, each of us , individually, has a specific, a personal and unique function.


And Passover is a reminder of this precious and wonderful reality.


I am aware that for many, because of the actual issues forged by the sinful system in which we live, it is very difficult to accept such powerful fact.


But Let me tell you, no one can agree to die if the purpose of his sacrifice is not based on a solid belief.

Passover is the result of that strong belief.


Jesus knew that He is the software, the antidote, the cure, the seed capable to bring back the all universe to its original and divine purpose.

And by his sacrifice, he fulfilled it.


6 And I looked, and behold,[c] in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.

Revelation 5: 8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang a new song, saying:

“You are worthy to take the scroll,

And to open its seals;

For You were slain,

And have redeemed us to God by Your blood

Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

10 And have made us kings and priests to our God;

And we shall reign on the earth.”


We all enjoy today an unprecedented restoration of our original goal because the sinful system has been deleted, its consequences cured and suppressed completely from our life.


We can now

  1. do what we were created for, Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

  2. be God’s children on earth, Romans 8:16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

  3. Exercise our royal and priesthood authority; 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light;

  4. enjoy the blessings of heavens on earth; Ephesians 1:3 [ Redemption in Christ ] Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

  5. subject evil under our feet, Romans 16:20 And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

  6. access to eternal life, Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

  7. bring God’s kingdom realm on earth. Luke 17:21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”

We are back on track! alleluia!

It is an irreversible process, sin can no longer have dominion over our life, sickness cannot reside in us, demons can no longer rule over us, darkness can no longer cover our destiny, barrenness, failure, divorce, rejection, sudden death, incurable diseases, inexplicable loss or uncontrollable tempers can no longer be your portion, in Jesus name.


The disciples tried to go back to their old life, but it was impossible.

In John 21 : Peter tried to go back to his fishing business,

In Luke 24: 13 Two others disciples were going back to their native village,

But little they knew, the word of God cannot be broken.


Listen at this pass over, any effort from the odds trying to refer you back to any old life, let the power of God, make it impossible.


Jesus gathered them and established them. If you are lost, this pass over, will bring you back and establish you into your destiny.


I’m excited to be the product of passover and I will eternally give glory to God for his sacrifice for me and my family.


So, let celebrate our passover, let celebrate our coming back on track. let follow Jesus, our Passover.


before I end this message, perhaps, you are wondering if you can after so many years away from Him, benefit from this amazing opportunity, my answer is you can.

what you need is revival your love for Jesus. in John 21, after Peter backslide, Jesus just invited him to ignite his love for Him. just say to God how much you love Him and get on track.


but for you who just want to be part of this new life, i invite you to accept Christ as your Lord and saviour.
