A Bíblia: uma Biblioteca de Livros para Todos - de Todas as Idades, Culturas e Gerações

Por que celebramos o Natal, o Dia de Reis, a Páscoa, a Ascensão, o Pentecostes? Por que razão a coroa de advento, prendas, estrelas, anjos, pastores são centrais no Natal? Por que comemos cabrito ou borrego na Páscoa? De onde nos vêm expressões como " daqui lavo as minhas mãos " ou " bode expiatório" ou "coisas do arco da velha"? Que está por detrás de tantas pinturas clássicas, de obras centrais da literatura mundial, de filmes como os Dez Mandamentos, o Príncipe do Egipto, The Climb? Que se entende por Verdade, Amor, Justiça, Gratidão, Compaixão, Arrependimento, Perdão...? Quem foi Eva, Adão, Abel, Caim, Sansão, David, Samuel, Rute, Débora, Daniel, Isaías ou Jeremias ?

PÁSCOA é sobre o CORDEIRO PERFEITO DE DEUS JULGADO, CONDENADO e SACRIFICADO em vez dos pecadores que O recebem como seu Salvador »---« EASTER is about THE PERFECT LAMB GIVEN BY GOD SACRIFICED in the place of those that accept Him as their Saviour

PÁSCOA é sobre o CORDEIRO PERFEITO DE DEUS que se dispõs a ser
JULGADO, CONDENADO e SACRIFICADO em lugar dos homens pecadores, que, 
quando arrependidos,  
e confiando na Salvação feita por Cristo, 
são libertos do Julgamento e Condenação à morte eterna.
O JUSTO substituiu os INjustos. 
Foi condenado e executado em lugar deles e ressuscitou ao 3º dia, conquistando a morte.
Expiou os pecados dos homens, para que os pecados dos homens não os lancem no inferno,
 a prisão de horrível tormento sem fim, que não tem saída alguma.






EASTER is about THE PERFECT GOD GIVEN BY GOD,
 being JUDGED, CONDEMNED, SACRIFICED by men, 
so that men who have Him as Substitute and Saviour, 
may not be judged, condemned to eternal death

A Páscoa e o Cordeiro - THE FEAST OF THE PASSOVER and THE LAST SUPPER by Dirk Bouts, c.1460





  
ArtistDieric Bouts 
Year1464–1468
MediumOil paint, panel

The gathering of manna and Passover (recto left), 
The last supper (middle), 
The meeting of Abraham and Melchizedek and Elijah awakened by the angel (1 Kings 19:5-6) (recto right)

The Last Supper with Christ 
was the last ritual Passover Feast because the LAMB OF GOD, Christ Himself, was about to be sacrificed. 
Christ explained the meal pointed to His Death and Resurrection and should be repeated by His Disciples among them, until His Return to reign on earth. 


Passover - Easter supper- Altarpiece

 This painting shows it is an important moment, and those present seem to be reflecting on its significance. 

It is one of the key works in the history of Flemish art..

 Here, Bouts breaks with the tradition according to which Christ is always represented in the act of announcing the betrayal of Judas. Instead, he chooses to show the moment at which he institutes the Holy Communion, that is the sharing of the wine and bread among His disciples.

JESUS being Himself THE LAMB OF GOD, puts an end to the sacrifice of passover lambs, a warning of His Coming as son of Man to be punished for the sin of men. That is why He mentions in this meal that His Blood ( represented by the wine shared ) is going to be shed and His Body ( symbolised by the bread given away) is going to be broken for those that wait upon His deliverance.

The SACRIFICED LAMB is in  the centre of the First Feast of Passover back in Egypt on the Night of the Death of the Firstborns, but not of the one in Jewish homes protected by the blood of the sacrificed lamb.
The sacrificial male perfect lamb that delivered the firstborn of each house from death pointed to the Sacrificial Death of Christ in favour of all those that turn to Him for salvation of eternal death.
 
 The white table cloth is a symbol of the holiness, purity, righteousness of Christ alone.

2 DIFFERENT FACES OF CHRIST - THE LAMB AND THE LION - DUAS FACES DIFERENTES DE CRISTO - O CORDEIRO E O LEÃO

This is a finger painting by Artist/Photographer: Janet Hyun
 
It illustrates that THE MESSIAH, THE CHRIST first came as A LAMB, a weak human into this world.
But at His second coming, JESUS CHRIST will be returning as THE magnificent KING, THE  LION OF JUDAH.
He came first as OBEDIENT SERVANT to SUFFER THE TRIAL DESERVED BY THE DISOBEDIENT MANKIND.
He will come next as THE GLORIOUS RULER He will never cease to be.

Easter and Passover in Schools: The "Perfect Lamb" Season




















A Páscoa Judaica e Cristã nas escolas: a época para lembrar a centralidade do "Cordeiro Perfeito", tema que ainda hoje é recordado através do prato principal de muitas refeições de Domingo de Páscoa: cabrito ou borrego assado.The " Perfect Lamb" relevance is still reminded nowadays in the main course of many families on Easter Sunday: roasted lamb.
O sangue do cordeiro sem falha alguma era aplicado sobre as ombreiras da porta da casa para impedir a morte de entrar com destruição. O cordeiro em si era comido pelos membros daquela casa como forma de dar a entender que o cordeiro fora sacrificado em benefício deles, para sua libertação.
The blood of that flawless lamb was applied on the doorsides and lintels to prevent death from entering the house causing destruction. The lamb was shared in the meal by the family members as a way to symbolize that the lamb had been sacrificed in their favour, to reach their deliverance.

One Easter Tree * uma Árvore da Páscoa


In this Easter tree, the clouds with the Easter remembrance words are associated to wooden pegs to bring the cross into mind. The central motif is still the white lamb symbolizing the Lamb of God, that can be placed in a crown or not. Albrecht Dürer in his famous presentation of THE ADORATION OF THE LAMB IN HEAVEN places the Lamb (one of the symbols of Jesus) in a circle, sign of His perfection and of having no beginning and no end.
Nesta árvore da Páscoa, as nuvens com palavras evocando os acontecimentos celebrados na época estão associadas a molas de madeira para recordar a cruz.O motivo central é ainda o Cordeiro de Deus, que pode ser colocado numa coroa ou não. Albrecht Dürer na sua ilustração da ADORAÇÃO DO CORDEIRO NO CÉU coloca o Codeiro ( um dos símbolos de Jesus ) num círculo, sinal da Sua perfeição e de que não tem princípio nem fim.
