Why Mormons Pass Over God’s Passover Miracle

January 23 – Why Mormons Pass Over God’s Passover Miracle. Exodus 12:21-27 “Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover. 22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. 23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you. 24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever. 25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service. 26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service? 27 That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD’s passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.”

1 Corinthians 5;7 “Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us.”

Just as God passed over the homes of the Israelites, He’ll repeat that action in the future for those who call Him Lord. Knowing He paid for our sin means we make a determination to live in Him, and allow His Spirit to supernaturally change us from who we once were. We were calloused, we were ugly, and in desperate need of God who operates outside of ourselves to intervene on our behalf. We then see first hand the beauty in how He operates inside the believer, and purposes him/her as a new creature who again, loves to adore Him.

For the Mormon there’s no tie, if you will, to the Passover because of the lies and ineffective teachings they’re fed week in, and week out. Their apostle Bruce McConkie wrote that only apostates still recognize the Passover. Just as God has had mercy upon us, let’s have mercy upon the Mormons who buy into the infantile, sacrilegious words of their leaders. Let’s pray, witness, and plead to God He’ll save them, just as He did us.

Mormon Doctrine, p 502 “It was during the week of this feast, some 1500 years after the exodus, that our Lord was crucified. Just before his betrayal he had partaken of the feast with his disciples…Keeping of the passover, with its sacrifices and unleavened bread, ended (except among apostate peoples) with the sacrifice of “Christ our passover.” The saints were to keep the feast only in a spiritual sense, as Paul said: “Let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.” (1 Cor. 5:6-8.)” – Bruce McConkie
