It’s not the “Jewish Passover”. The Bible calls it The LORD’s Passover. God created the holiday to be observed by both the native and alien, so long as we believe Him and walk in His ways.
And when your children say to you, “What do you mean by this service?” you shall say, “It is the sacrifice of YHWH’s Passover, for He passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians but spared our houses.” And the people bowed their heads and worshiped. (Exodus 12:26-27)
The immediate, obvious, purpose of Passover is to remember God’s deliverance of His people from slavery and genocide in Egypt. During the Passover observance, we meditate on such concepts as: How did our forefathers become enslaved in a land of darkness? How did they turn back to God and call on His name? How did God remember His promises and respond to His people?
Remembering what God has done for His people in the past is an important part of revering Him and maintaining our relationship.
