PASSOVER, JEWISH
A symbol of the process of redemption wherein
partly disciplined qualities (Israelites), by partaking of the
Divine nature (lamb), are nourished by the Divine Life as they
triumph over the things of darkness, and pass over from lower stage
(Egypt) to a higher stage (Canaan).
"For our passover also hath been sacrificed, even Christ." - 1 COR.
v. 7.
Through the sacrifice of the Higher Self in involution, the Divine
Life is outpoured in evolution.
"For Israel in Egypt (the house of bondage), for the Christian in
the world, the one great truth is the Passover, redemption through
the blood of the Lamb, salvation, not for our righteousness' sake,
but because the blood is on the door-post. . . . And what is this
passover but redemption? The elect family, with shoes on their feet,
and their loins girt ready for flight from Egypt, are standing by
night (Rom. xiii. 12) within the house whose door-posts are
sprinkled with blood, while the destroying angel is abroad." - A.
JUKES, The Law of the Offerings, p. 23.
"The water and blood which flowed from the side of Jesus as the true
Paschal lamb is the symbol of the spiritual life which through the
death of Jesus is communicated in all its fullness to mankind." - F.
C. BAUR, Church History, Vol. I. p. 159.
"What God is aiming at is the production of a humanity which shall
be the perfect expression of Christ. Through Christ from the very
first he has been working out this divine idea, but not on this
plane only; every man of faith who has ever lived has but passed on
to another department of the service of the Lord when he has
finished with the body. It is all one work; we are in the lowest
department of it now, and we know not what is being done in the
higher, but the higher knows what is being done in ours, and how we
are doing it." - R. J. CAMPBELL, Serm., Solidarity in Christ.
