 * the passover.
   This word comes from the Hebrew verb {pasach,} to pass, to
   leap or skip over.  The destroying angel passed over the
   houses marked with the blood of the Paschal Lamb, so the wrath
   of God passes over those whose souls sprinkled with the blood
   of Christ.  1Co 5:7.  As the paschal lamb was killed before
   Israel was delivered, so by the death of Christ, we have
   redemption through his blood.  It was killed before the tables
   of the law were delivered to Moses, or Aaron's sacrifices were
   enjoined; thus deliverance comes to men, not by the works of
   the law, but by the only true passover, the Lamb of God.
   Ro 3:25.  Heb 9:14.  It was killed the first month of the
   year, which prefigured that Christ should suffer death in that
   month.  Joh 18:28.  it was killed in the evening.  Ex 12:6.
   Christ suffered at that time of the day.  Mt 27:46.  Heb 1:2.
   At even the sun sets; at Christ's passion, universal darkness
   was upon the whole earth.  The passover was roasted with fire,
   denoting the sharp and dreadful pains that Christ should
   suffer, not only from men, but God also.  It was to be eaten
   with bitter herbs, Ex 12:8; not only to put them in
   remembrance of their bitter bondage in Egypt, but also to
   testify our mortification to sin, and readiness to undergo
   afflictions for Christ, Col 1:24; and likewise to teach us the
   absolute necessity of true repentance in all that would
   profitably feed by faith on Christ, the true paschal lamb.

 * for in.
