About This Booklet
This booklet was written as a guide for
those who desire to observe the New Covenant Passover—the Christian
Passover. It provides basic instructions for conducting the Passover
ceremony, as well as appropriate Scriptures to read for the service. The
arrangement of the Scriptures conforms to the sequence of events at Jesus'
last Passover, when He instituted the New Covenant Passover on the night
before His crucifixion and death. The author has translated these
Scriptures in a manner that is easy to read yet accurately conveys the literal
meaning of the New Testament Greek text.
The author's translation of these
Scriptures for the Christian Passover ceremony is based on the Greek text of
Stephens of 1550. This was the Greek text used by the translators of the
King James Version. The author has chosen an exacting and literal
translation of the Greek text that is designed to express the power and love
of our Savior Jesus Christ.
In this translation, the true Scriptural
understanding of the Holy Spirit is presented. The true New Testament
teaching, as preserved in the Greek text, is that the Holy Spirit is not a
person. Rather, it is the power of God which He puts within human beings
to accomplish spiritual works. Luke clearly describes this function: “And
the angel answered and said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit shall
come upon you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you’
” (Luke 1:35). Just before He
ascended into heaven, Jesus told the apostles “ ‘to await the promise of
the Father, which,’He said, ‘you have heard of Me. Now then,
John, on the one hand, baptized with water; on the other hand, you shall be
baptized with the Holy Spirit after not many days....But you will
receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you...’ ” (Acts
1:4-8).
Here is the author's explanation of his
translation of those passages in John 14, 15 and 16 which concern "the Spirit
of the Truth" and "the Comforter":
“The Spirit of the Truth,” in John 14:17
comes from the Greek to pneuma tees aleetheias, and is another
designation for “the Holy Spirit.” In the New Testament Greek, “the Holy
Spirit” is always a neuter noun, which truly reflects the Scriptural teaching
that the Holy Spirit is the power of God and not a person. The Greek nouns for
“Spirit,” “the Spirit,” “Holy Spirit” and “The Holy Spirit” (KJV “Holy Ghost”)
are as follows: pneuma, to pneuma, pneuma hagion, to hagion pneuma,
to pneuma to hagion, and the above referenced to pneuma tees aleetheias.
These nouns, in their various forms, are always and only neuter in gender.
Likewise, the pronouns for to pneuma to hagion are always and only
neuter in gender. Therefore, it is absolutely incorrect to translate
“the Spirit,” “the Holy Spirit,” or “the Spirit of the Truth” and its pronouns
in the masculine gender. Since the Greek text reveals that “the Spirit
of the Truth” is in the neuter gender, the author has correctly translated its
pronouns as “it,” “which” and “that one,” as a neuter entity should properly
be translated. To translate these neuter nouns and their pronouns in the
masculine gender clearly violates the basic rules of translation.
Pneuma and its various derivations are nowhere revealed in Scripture as
masculine gendered nouns!
However, in John 14:16, 26, and John
15:26, we do find a masculine gendered noun used in reference to the Holy
Spirit, as a descriptive noun, ho parakleetos, which is translated in
the KJV as “the Comforter.” Ho parakleetos defines a function of
“the Holy Spirit,” or “the Spirit of the Truth,” as “a helper,” and “the
helper,” or as “a comforter” and “the comforter.” While this masculine
gendered descriptive noun is used to describe a vital function of the Holy
Spirit, it does not designate “the Holy Spirit,” or “the Spirit of the Truth,”
as a person. In I John 2:1 the masculine descriptive noun Parakleetos
is used to describe a function of Jesus Christ as “an Advocate” for
Christians.
The demonstrative pronoun of ho
parakleetos is ekeinos, which means “that” or “that one.” The
author has accordingly translated ekeinos in reference to ho
parakleetos as “that one,” whereas most translations incorrectly translate
ekeinos as “He.” The use of a descriptive masculine gendered noun
and its pronouns does not make the Holy Spirit a “third co-equal member of a
triune godhead,” a “divine being” equal with the Father and the Son. For
those who know the New Testament Greek, it is evident that the theology of
men, which is contrary to the inspired Greek text, has been inserted into the
English translations in an attempt to give Scriptural support to the false
doctrine of the Trinity.
It is the author’s hope that the correct
translation of the New Testament Greek text, as presented in this booklet, may
give the reader a true understanding of those Scriptures which concern the
Holy Spirit. These Scriptures contain the true teachings of Jesus
Christ, given to His disciples when He instituted the New Covenant Passover.
It is vital for every Christian to understand these verses as they are read
during the Christian Passover ceremony, for these words of Jesus are the basis
and foundation of the New Covenant.
May the love, grace and mercy of God the
Father be with all those who observe the New Covenant Passover through Jesus
Christ Our Lord and Savior—Our “Passover Lamb—the Lamb of God, Who takes away
thesinof the world.”
With love in Jesus' name,
Fred R. Coulter
WHEN SHOULD THE CHRISTIAN PASSOVER BE
OBSERVED?
The Christian Passover, which renews the
New Covenant relationship, should be observed only once a year on the 14th day
of the 1st month, the month of Nisan, according to the calculated Hebrew
calendar. Since the Bible reckons each day from sunset to sunset, the
Christian Passover observance is to be held after sunset of the 13th day of
the 1st month, which is actually the night of the 14th day of the 1st month.
Remember that today the Jews do not keep a 14th Passover at all. The
Jewish “Passover” is observed a day late and is combined with the Feast of
Unleavened Bread, which begins on the 15th day of the 1st month and continues
for seven days. In violation to the clear Scriptural commands, the Jews
have added an eighth day to their “Passover,” extending it to the 22nd of the
1st month. (For a full explanation read The Christian Passover by
Fred R. Coulter.)
In order to know when the
Passover day falls according to the calculated Hebrew calendar, as
synchronized with the Roman calendar, see The Comprehensive Hebrew Calendar
by Arthur Spier. This book shows the calculated dates to the year 2100.
However, for your convenience, the dates for the annual festivals of God from
the years 2003 to 2010 as they occur according to the Roman calendar, is
provided on page 29. The New Covenant Passover service is to be observed
annually “until the Lord may come.”
WHO SHOULD OBSERVE
THE CHRISTIAN PASSOVER?
Who should partake of the Christian
Passover? Should anyone who thinks that he or she is a Christian observe
this sacred service? Or are there specific Scriptural requirements for
participating in the Christian Passover? This vital question needs to be
answered.
In the Old Testament, one of the
ordinances for the observance of the Passover required that all male
participants be circumcised in the flesh. Those who were not circumcised
were forbidden to participate in the Old Testament Passover (Ex. 12:48).
However, the New Testament clearly teaches that circumcision in the flesh is
not a requirement for the New Covenant relationship with God the Father and
Jesus Christ (Gal. 5:6, Rom. 2:28-29).
Physical circumcision is not a requirement
for the observance of the New Covenant Passover. However, there is a spiritual
circumcision required for the New Covenant, as taught in the New Testament.
As we will see, anyone, male or female, must be circumcised spiritually
through Jesus Christ in order to participate in the New Covenant Passover—the
Christian Passover. This spiritual circumcision is called “the
circumcision of the heart, in the spirit.”
The apostle Paul defines spiritual
circumcision in Romans 2:28-29: “For he is not a Jew who is one
outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is external in
the flesh; rather, he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is
of the heart, in the spirit and not in the letter;
whose praise is not from men but from God.”
Spiritual circumcision is achieved only in
this manner: The first step for each person who answers God's calling is to
repent of his or her sins against God the Father and to accept the sacrifice
of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins. As the apostle Peter
proclaimed: “Repent and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus
Christ for the remission of your sins, and you will receive the gift of
the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:38).
After answering God’s calling and
repenting toward God, a person must be baptized by full immersion in water,
which signifies the death and burial of the old, sinful self. The
apostle Paul reveals the full meaning of baptism: “Or are you ignorant that
we, as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus, were baptized into His death?
Therefore, we were buried with Him by baptism into death; so that, just as
Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, in the same
way, we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been
conjoined together in the likeness of His death, so also shall we be in the
likeness of His resurrection. Knowing this, that our old man [the
old, sinful self] was crucified with Him [co-crucified] in order that
the body of sin might be destroyed, that we should no longer be enslaved to
sin; because the one who has died to sin has been justified from sin”
(Romans 6:3-7).
The operation of baptism and receiving of
the Holy Spirit from God the Father is called “the circumcision of Christ,”
which is the spiritual circumcision of the heart. In Paul’s epistle to
the Colossians we find this explanation: “And you are complete in Him, Who is
the Head of all principality and power; in Whom you have also been
circumcised with the circumcision not made by hands, in putting off the
body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ, having been
buried with Him in baptism, by which you have also been raised with Him
through the inner working of God, Who raised Him from the dead. For you,
who were once dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your
flesh, has He now made alive with Him, having forgiven all your
trespasses. He has blotted out the note of debt against us,
with the decrees of our sins, which was contrary to us; also He has
taken it away, having nailed it to the cross” (Col. 2:10-14).
The New Testament clearly shows that no
person should partake of the New Covenant Passover until he or she has been
baptized and has been spiritually circumcised in heart by the receiving of the
Holy Spirit of God. “But He Who establishes us with you in Christ, and Who has
anointed us, is God, Who has also sealed us and has given the
earnest of the Spirit in our hearts” (II Cor. 1:21-22).
To partake of the New Covenant Passover
worthily, a person must have been baptized and must have received the Holy
Spirit from God the Father. Only those who have received the gift of the
Holy Spirit from God the Father should partake of the Christian Passover,
because they are the only ones who have been spiritually circumcised in heart
and have truly entered into the New Covenant with God the Father and Jesus
Christ.
HOW SHOULD THE
CHRISTIAN PASSOVER BE OBSERVED?
At His last Passover, Jesus
Christ instituted the service of footwashing and instructed His disciples to
partake of the unleavened bread and wine as the symbols of His sacrifice.
True Christians are commanded by Jesus Christ to observe the New Covenant
Passover—the Christian Passover. However, it must be observed properly.
The apostle Paul warned the Christians at Corinth of the dire consequences of
eating and drinking the new symbols unworthily: “For this reason, if
anyone shall eat this bread or shall drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, he
shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. But let a
man examine himself, and let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup
accordingly” (I Cor. 11:27-28).
Partaking of the
Passover unworthily includes the following:
1) An improper manner, improper symbols, and an incorrect day and time
2) An improper attitude of rebellion or habitual, calloused sinfulness
3) Not discerning the body of Jesus Christ for healing
4) Not discerning the blood of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins
Partaking of the
Passover worthily includes the following:
1) The proper manner, proper symbols and the correct day and time
2) A humble, loving repentant, yielded attitude
3) Discerning the body of the Lord and trusting Him for healing
4) Discerning the blood of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins
The apostle Paul clearly taught the
Christians at Corinth that they were not to eat a meal with the New Covenant
Passover and that it should not be called “the Lord’s Supper” (I Cor.
11:20-22). A meal is not to be eaten with the New Covenant Passover
because it is a solemn ceremony in remembrance of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice and
death for our sins.
Paul warned, “Because the one who eats and
drinks unworthily is eating and drinking judgment to himself, not discerning
the body of the Lord. For this very reason, many are weak
and sickly among you, and many have fallen asleep. Now if we examined
ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are
chastened by the Lord, so that we will not be condemned with the world”
(I Cor. 11:29-32).
Prior to the observance of the New
Covenant Passover, each Christian should prayerfully examine himself, or
herself, in order to fully realize that it is only through the love and grace
of God that this gracious salvation of God the Father has been granted to each
one whom God the Father calls. While Christians are commanded to do good
works and keep all of God's commandments as a way of life, it can only be
accomplished through faith and the love of God. The renewal of the New
Covenant each year through observing the New Covenant Passover is each
Christian’s solemn pledge to live and walk in the ways of God through faith in
Jesus Christ.
If we truly love God with all our hearts
and minds, we will desire to do what is pleasing to God the Father and Jesus
Christ and we will observe the New Covenant Passover—the Christian Passover—exactly
as Jesus Christ commanded.
The Footwashing
The footwashing service of the Passover
ceremony renews one’s baptism yearly. (For a full explanation of
footwashing, read The Christian Passover by Fred R. Coulter).
Preparations should be made ahead of time
for the footwashing so that this service may be conducted as smoothly as
possible. A sufficient supply of warm water should be furnished, taking
into consideration the number of people participating. Each participant
should provide his or her own pan and towel for the footwashing service.
If the number of participants permits, it is entirely proper for the men and
the women to wash feet separately.
If a Christian is forced by circumstances
to observe the Passover alone, then he or she will not be able to perform the
footwashing service. In such cases, the individual Christian should
certainly read and study the footwashing part of the Passover ceremony, and in
faith before God should pray for understanding of the meaning of footwashing.
This special prayer to God about the meaning of footwashing can be offered in
place of the actual service of footwashing.
After the footwashing is concluded, the
Passover ceremony continues with the eating of the unleavened bread.
The Unleavened Bread
For the Christian Passover, only
unleavened bread is to be eaten. As the Scriptures show, all leaven was
removed from houses in preparation for the Passover day, the 14th day of the
1st month, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which follows the Passover and
lasts from the 15th day through the 21st day. In addition to removing
all leaven, unleavened bread was baked and made ready for the Passover and the
Feast. (Read The Christian Passover for a full explanation.)
A recipe for making unleavened bread is provided on page 31.
If the New Covenant Passover—the
Christian Passover—is to be observed in a private home, the room chosen
for the ceremony should be completely unleavened prior to the Passover.
If the Passover is to be observed in a rented room, those preparing the room
should remove any leaven from the confines of that room prior to observing the
Passover.
The unleavened bread to be used for
distribution to the participants should be placed on a dish or tray and be
covered with a clean white cloth. An excessive amount of bread should
not be placed on the dish or tray, because this bread will be broken and
blessed to represent the body of Jesus Christ. Any bread and crumbs left
after the services have concluded should be burned in fire that night, in
accordance with God’s instructions for the remains of the lambs used for the
Old Covenant Passover (Ex. 12:10).
For the Old Testament Passover, a lamb or
kid goat was required to be sacrificed at the household of the participants.
In the New Testament, in his epistle to the Hebrews, the apostle Paul clearly
teaches that the one perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ replaced and superseded
all the animal sacrifices required under the Old Covenant (Heb. 9:12).
Jesus Christ is the New Covenant Passover Lamb, the perfect sacrifice of God
the Father for the remission of our sins: “For Christ OUR PASSOVER was
sacrificed for us” (I Cor. 5:7).
The Wine
Few people realize that the skins of
grapes have natural yeast spores which initiate the fermentation process
almost immediately after the juice has been squeezed. Before the advent
of pasteurization and refrigeration, it was impossible to have grape juice
year round as we do today, because there was no way to preserve the juice and
prevent it from fermenting. The only time of year when grape juice could
be consumed was at the time of the crushing of the grapes, which always
occurred in late summer, when the grapes were harvested. Since grape
juice could not be preserved, it was used to make either wine or vinegar.
The term “fruit of the vine” in Matthew
26:29, Mark 14:25 and Luke 22:18 is not referring to grape juice. In the
spring, at Passover time, “the fruit of the vine” can only refer to wine.
The Greek word for unfermented grape juice is trudz and is never used
in reference to wine. The Greek word for wine is oinos, which
always means wine fermented from the juice of grapes. In the second
chapter of the Gospel of John, it is recorded that Jesus created 180 gallons
of wine, or oinos, out of water. He did not create grape juice.
Jesus drank oinos, or wine. Those who criticized Him called Him
a “winebibber,” as recorded in Matthew 11:19 and Luke 7:34. The Greek
word for “winebibber” is oinopotees from oinos.
There is additional Scriptural proof that
the term “fruit of the vine” does not mean grape juice. In the Gospel of
Matthew, we find Jesus,’parable of the vineyard: “There was a certain
man, a master of a house, who planted a vineyard, and put a fence
around it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and then
leased it to husbandmen and left the country. Now when the season of the
fruits was drawing near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen to receive
his fruits” (Mat. 21:33-34).
The specific mention of the winepress in
this parable shows that the purpose of the vineyard was to produce wine.
That is the “fruits” that the owner expected to receive from his vineyard.
It was impossible for the owner, who was not in the country, to receive fresh
grapes or fresh grape juice from the husbandmen. The only fruits he
could safely receive were raisins, which are sun-dried grapes, or wine
fermented from the juice of the grapes. While it is possible that some
of the grapes could have been dried into raisins, the winepress in the parable
indicates that most of the grapes were crushed and used to make wine.
That was the “fruits” of the vineyard, or “the fruit of the vine.”
At His last Passover, Jesus told the
disciples, “But I say to you, from this time forward I will not drink
at all of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it
anew with you in the kingdom of My Father”
(Matt. 26:29 and Mark 14:25).
Based on the Scriptural evidence, we can
conclude the following: The fruit of the vine which Jesus and the disciples
drank at Jesus’ last Passover was oinos, or wine, not trudz,
or grape juice. Those who believe that grape juice should be
used for the Christian Passover service are following their beliefs and their
self-determined righteousness instead of following the teachings and practices
of Jesus Christ. The Scriptures clearly show that “the fruit of the
vine” is not grape juice. Therefore, the use of grape juice instead
of wine is not partaking of the Passover in the manner taught by Jesus Christ
and the apostle Paul as recorded in Scripture. The use of grape juice in
place of wine for the Christian Passover is undoubtedly partaking of the New
Covenant Passover unworthily. An exception to the Scriptural teaching
could be allowed for a person who has made a solemn vow not to drink any
alcoholic beverage because he or she is a recovering alcoholic. In such
circumstances, God would not condemn the use of grape juice in place of wine.
In all other cases, wine, and only wine, should be used for the New Covenant
Passover—the Christian Passover.
The wine to be used for the New Covenant
Passover should be a fine quality red wine, a burgundy type—unfortified, as it
symbolizes the shed blood of Jesus Christ. The simplest way to gauge the
quality of a wine is to check to see if the bottle has a cork. Nearly
every wine which has been bottled with a whole cork is considered a good
quality wine.
Before the Passover service begins, the
wine should be poured into separate small glasses for the exact number of
participants, and the glasses should be covered with a clean, white cloth.
The wine should be poured from the bottle in a room separate from the room
where the service will be conducted and the wine will be blessed. Any
wine which has been blessed for use during the Passover service should not be
used for other purposes. If there is some unused blessed wine remaining
after the service, it should be poured on the ground, as was the blood of
Jesus. The glasses used by the participants should be washed as soon as
possible after the service is concluded.
After the service, the participants should
return to their houses or rooms and use additional time that night for study,
prayer and meditation upon the awesome meaning and significance of the
sacrifice of Jesus Christ as the Passover Lamb of God.
The entire New Covenant Passover—The
Christian Passover, is truly an expression of God the Father’s love for
each person by providing the perfect sacrifice of His Only Begotten Son: “For
God so loved the world, that He gave His own Son, the only begotten, so that
everyone who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have everlasting
life” (John 3:16).
THE CHRISTIAN
PASSOVER
RENEWS THE NEW COVENANT THROUGH
JESUS CHRIST
In accordance to the promises that God
gave Abraham, as recorded in Genesis 15:3-6 and 22:15-18, Jesus Christ began
the New Covenant on the Passover day. Therefore the 14th of the 1st month, the
Passover day, can rightly be called the Covenant Day. Jesus
Himself is the One who established this day as the Covenant Day by His
commands for this day and by His actions on this day! Jesus Himself has
made the Covenant Day—the Passover day—the primary day, and the
only day, for the renewal of the New Covenant relationship between each
individual Christian and Himself and God the Father.
This New Covenant relationship can only be
entered into by the operation of the grace of God. God’s grace begins
with God the Father’s calling. Each individual must respond to God’s
calling by repentance, baptism and loving obedience to the Word of God, which
is the Truth. When these conditions are fulfilled, God the Father gives the
Holy Spirit to each person He calls. The Holy Spirit enables each one to
worship God in spirit and in truth! “But the hour is coming, and
now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in
truth; for the Father is indeed seeking those who worship Him in this manner.
God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must
[Greek dei, obligated, under divine
compulsion] worship in spirit and in truth”
(John 4:23-24.)
What Jesus is revealing by these words is
not a suggestion—IT IS A COMMAND! The Greek text is most emphatic—it
is an imperative command! Jesus is revealing the ONLY WAY to enter
into the New Covenant relationship with God the Father.
This New Covenant relationship is offered
only to those who are loving God the Father and keeping the
commandments and words of Jesus Christ. This is the foundation of
Christian faith by God's grace under the New Covenant.
The only way to God the Father is through
Jesus Christ! He Himself established the New Covenant with His own blood, and
He Himself reveals the ONE TRUE WAY to enter into that special covenant
relationship with the Father. He emphaticallystated, “I am the way,
and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through
Me” (John 14:6.)
God the Father’s plan is revealed in the
life and death of Jesus Christ—Our Passover. “But we see Jesus, Who was
made a little lower than the angels, crowned with glory and honor on
account of suffering the death, in order that by the grace of God He
Himself might taste death for everyone” (Heb 2:9).
No human work can possibly replace or be
substituted for this awesome sacrifice of Jesus Christ. His blood alone
can reconcile us to God the Father. Once we have been reconciled, it is
through the risen Christ, our High Priest at the right hand of God, that we
are saved by God’s loving grace.
“But God, Who is rich in mercy, because of
His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our
trespasses, has made us alive together with Christ. (For you
have been saved by grace.) And He has raised us up together
[through the operation of baptism] and has caused us to sit together in
the heavenly places [through the begettal of God’s Holy Spirit] in
Christ Jesus, so that in the ages that are coming He might show the
exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ
Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. and this
faith has not [Greek ouk, the impossibility of it originating]
come from your own selves; it is the gift of God, not from
works, so that no one may boast. For we are His [God the Father’s]
workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto the good works [of faith,
love and obedience], which God ordained beforehand that we might walk in them”
(Eph. 2:4-10).
True Christians are to continually worship
God the Father and Jesus Christ in spirit and in truth. They are in
actual, true covenant with God the Father and Jesus Christ! Because
they worship God as He commanded, they are faithfully and lovingly keeping the
Christian Passover as commanded by Jesus Christ in the New Testament.
They are observing it on the correct Covenant Day for the annual
renewing of the New Covenant. This means that they annually observe the
Christian Passover on the 14th day of the 1st month, the month of Nisan
(according to the calculated Hebrew calendar), at the same time of day that
Jesus instituted the new symbols, and in the proper manner as He Himself
commanded at His last Passover. Each year, they fulfill all three
parts of the Passover exactly as Jesus commanded: 1) participating in the
footwashing, 2) eating the unleavened bread, and 3) partaking of the wine.
By partaking of the Christian Passover, as
Jesus Christ commanded, they are rededicating their lives to walk in His way
and live their lives by Him. “The one who eats My flesh and drinks My
blood is dwelling in Me, and I in him. As the living Father has sent Me,
and I live by the Father; so also the one who eats Me shall live by Me”
(John 6:56-57).
The Christian’s relationship with Jesus
Christ and God the Father is renewed each year by participating in the
Christian Passover. The true meaning of the Christian Passover goes far beyond
understanding the correct day and correct manner for its observance. In
reality, the Christian Passover is the foundation of God’s plan for our
lives—now and for all eternity!
God the Father gives us His magnificent
love and grace through Jesus Christ our Passover! Let us partake of the
symbols of the New Covenant as Jesus Christ commanded. Let us renew our
covenant relationship with God the Father and Jesus Christ. Let us
rededicate our lives in the love and grace of God as we partake of the New
Covenant Passover—the Christian Passover.
