Jesus teaches that he came down to this earth to set us free.

John 8:36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

This means without his coming to this earth we are under a certain kind of slavery. Then what kind of slavery are we under? And how did Jesus set us free from the slavery?
When Jesus said to the Jews that he could set them free. They refuted his words by saying, “We have never been a slave to anyone, then how can you say that you can set us free. We are already free.” Then Jesus explained the slavery they are under. He said:

John 8:32 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” 33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?” 34 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.

Through this Jesus let them know that they were under the slavery of sin and ultimately death caused by the sin. And he taught them that those who were taught by him would know truth and through the truth they could be set free from the sin and death.

This teaching of Jesus was not given to the Jews only. Rather this was given to all the people on this earth who are under the slavery of sin and death. He took pity on them and came down to this earth to set us free from the slavery and give us the forgiveness of sins and eternal life in heaven.

However, the Jews rejected him and his truth he taught them and as the result they could not receive salvation. Now we have to learn lesson from them. The Second Coming Christ came again to this earth and revealed the truth that gives us freedom from the slavery of sin and death. Now we have to accept him and his teaching for the eternal salvation in heaven.

Then what is the truth that gives us freedom from sin and death? The bible teaches that we are under the slavery of death because of our sins. Therefore, to be set free, we first have to receive the forgiveness for our sins. Then what was the truth that Jesus taught through which we can receive the forgiveness of sins?
On the night of the Passover Jesus revealed the truth by saying:

Matthew 26:26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” 27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the[b] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.



Jesus set us free from the slavery of sin through the Passover bread and wine. By keeping the Passover we can receive the forgiveness of God for all the sins we have committed. Since our sins are forgiven through the Passover, the death penalty sentenced to us because of our sins can also be cancelled through the Passover. It means we can have life forevermore through the Passover.

John 6:53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.

How can we be set free from death and have eternal life? Jesus said that we have to eat his flesh and drink his blood to have eternal life. Then what is the way can eat his flesh and drink his blood? As we have already seen in Matthew, Jesus gave out his flesh and blood through the Passover. Jesus sealed his promise through the Passover with these words: “This bread is my body and this cup (wine) is my blood”. Through this irrefutable words of God, the bread and wine of the Passover come to represent his flesh and blood, and when participating in the promise by eating the bread and drinking wine of the Passover we can receive the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

Therefore, we can be sure that the Passover is the truth that set us free from the slavery of sins and death. That is why Jesus wanted to keep the Passover earnestly with his disciples.

Luke 22:15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

The reason he came down to this earth was to teach us the truth that set us free from the slavery of sins and death. That was why Jesus wanted to keep the Passover so eagerly with his disciples. This precious truth of the Passover was once abolished by the work of Satan, which made it impossible for people to receive the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. Since the abolishment of the Passover in 325AD at the Council of Nicaea, everybody has been under the slavery of sin and death again.
To set us free from the slavery, Christ Ahnsahnghong the second coming Christ prophesied in the bible came down to this earth again. And he restored the new covenant Passover, the truth that set us free. Through the Passover he gives us freedom. Now we have to keep the Passover.
