Our Passover Lamb

Book Cover & Preview Text
Most people assume Jesus was crucified on Friday, the preparation day before the weekly Sabbath and that the last supper with the disciples was the Passover meal; however, that doesn’t fit with the Scriptures concerning His crucifixion. I believe the Bible to be the inerrant Word of God, and it bothered me when:
1) I read that Judas left the last supper, and the disciples thought it was because he went to buy something for the Passover. Why if they had just eaten it?
2) It also bothered me that in John 18:28 – after the last supper had taken place – it says Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor: By now it was early
morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace, because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover. Why if it had been celebrated the day before?
3) It bothered me that my King James Bible I had as a young girl showed Matthew 28:1 as saying After the Sabbaths. Why was it plural? In all my other Bibles after that it was singular. Fortunately I now have a Greek-English New Testament. The Greek version has Sabbaths – plural. Why?
There has to be an explanation. When I taught Sunday School years ago, I learned that if something doesn’t seem right, keep studying to find the correct answer. It’s there. So, there has to be an explanation for my questions.

About the Book
How would you like to dig into a treasure chest and be able to pull out the treasure you find? You can keep it forever. What if you found out that the treasure chest had no bottom to it? You can keep pulling out treasures day after day after day. You’ve hit the jackpot! That’s what you can do by studying the Bible, God’s Word.
The author divided Jesus’ last days on earth into days of the week so families today could read the story of what happened to Jesus on the same day of the week it occurred. On Sunday, for example, you would read what happened to Jesus on Sunday. Since the Jewish day began at sundown, words like sundown, even, or evening meal were used as the criteria for determining when a new day began.
Not wanting to miss any words in the four gospels, the author decided to combine each of the gospel stories into one combined story. By doing this, it soon became apparent that Jesus was actually crucified on Thursday. He followed all of the Jewish laws about Passover! He was crucified at the exact moment the priest was slaying the Passover lamb in the temple! He truly is Our Passover Lamb!
At the end of the book are several Bible studies the author had written in the past, and she hopes you will enjoy them during your own Bible study.
