Today is Nisan 14 on the Jewish calendar, let us take time today to think about what Jesus did for us today. At or about the moment Jesus died for us (around 3 pm in the afternoon on Passover Day) the slaughter of the Passover Lambs began in the Temple grounds. Somewhere around ¼ million sheep were killed and their blood collected between the hours of 3 pm and 6 pm. Jesus is our lamb, let us remember him.
Passover aligns with the Hebrew calendar; thus, the date changes every year. It traditionally begins after sundown on the evening of the full moon (or the 14th day) of the month of Nisan.
