World Mission Society Church of God Keeps the Passover.

According to the Bible, God's people should keep the Passover. Actually, the word is not "should", we MUST keep the Passover if we want to receive Eternal Life. This is why the World Mission society Church of God also keeps the Passover of the new covenant which Christ established. As children of God Almighty, we must obey what God says so that we can enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The World Mission Society Church of God wants to lead all people to Eternal Life by leading them to celebrate the Passover. The Passover was mentioned in all the gospels.

Mathew 26:17-19, 26-28- On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?"
18He replied, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, 'The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.' " 19So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover. While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body."
Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.


Mark:1412On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus' disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?"
13So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, "Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. 14Say to the owner of the house he enters, 'The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?' 15He will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there."
16The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover. 22While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take it; this is my body."
23Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, and they all drank from it.
24"This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many," he said to them.


Luke 22:7- Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover."
9"Where do you want us to prepare for it?" they asked.
10He replied, "As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, 11and say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?' 12He will show you a large upper room, all furnished. Make preparations there."
13They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.
14When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. 15And he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 19And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." 20In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

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

The only day Jesus promised His body and blood was on the Passover Feast. He establised the new covenant Passover so that we can receive Eternal Life. This is a very important feast of God. It is only kept once a year at the appointed time. Then, should we, sinners, dare change the appointed time of God and make our own time? Absolutely NOT! we must submit to God's way and only God's Way. The World Mission society Church of God keeps the Passover of the new covenant at the appointed time which is January 14 at twilight (Leviticus 23:4).We always have to make sure we are doing God's will and not men's will. The World Mission Society Church of God keeps the Passover in remembrance of Christ and therefore, we will surely enter the Kingdom of heaven. God Bless you.

God bless you brother!

You for to mention that passover is kept according to the sacred calender that God created Exodus 12:1, passover is kept in march, the day varies from year to year cuz sometimes we have leap years. The calender that the world used January to December is the roman calender system.
