Ursprungligen postat av konane
Varför dödades han på påsklovet? Varför inte på t.ex jullovet?

Passover:
Exodus 12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
Detta är passover och det skedde vid denna tidpunkt på året och var en skuggbild av det som komma skulle.
Det som komma skulle var att Gud skulle offra sig själv för människorna:
Genesis 22:8 And Abraham said, My son,
God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
Jesus är allas vår passover.
De som är tvättade och täckta i blodet kommer att slippa den andra döden.
Jesus är passover lammet.
John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith,
Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Hebrews 9:11 But
Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
Hebrews 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
Hebrews 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
Hebrews 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Hebrews 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Hebrews 9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
Hebrews 9:17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

sen att påsken i Sverige och västvärlden har blandats upp med en massa hedniska ritualer är beklagligt men inte direkt oväntat.
Påsken som hedningarna var en fertilitets ritual, därav kaninger, ägg och kycklingar.
