So you see, that is why you've been feeling so different than the rest of the world - as if you were in some kind of dream. Our spirits can feel that this is not our home. That's probably why babies are born crying. Now we must see in the Bible how did God redeem us, giving us the forgiveness of sins.

Eph. 1:7 "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace..."

Though HIS blood, we have the forgiveness of sins (redemption). Who is "His" in this verse? If you go up a few verses:

Eph. 1:3 "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ."

Then in Jesus' blood we have forgiveness of sins. What does it mean "in his blood?" Just believing? We have to eat his flesh and drink His blood. (John 6:53-56) How do we receive Jesus' flesh and blood?

Matt. 26:17-19 "'...I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house."' 19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover...26 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.' 27 Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, 'Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.'"

Here, we see that Jesus kept the Passover with His disciples so that He may offer His blood giving the forgiveness of sins. But notice, it was only the Passover night that Jesus did this. Then it is through the Passover bread and wine that Jesus Christ gave us the forgiveness of sins. Without the Passover, we cannot receive the forgiveness of sins, as God promised Passover night. That means even if you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, but you don't keep Passover, do you think that you can have the forgiveness of sins?
According to the Holy Trinity, Jesus Christ IS GOD, yet even Jesus Christ eagerly desired to eat the Passover.

Luke 22:14 "When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. 15 And he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer."

What would you do if you knew you had to die tomorrow? Wouldn't it be the most important things? Yet Jesus really wanted to keep the Passover with us. Did He need it for Himself? Of course not, Jesus is spiritually Our Father, so He came down from Heaven to bring us back to the Kingdom of Heaven by giving us His own flesh and eternal-living blood, through which we receive the forgiveness of sins.

We forgot that we came from heaven when we put on this flesh, but Our Father came down to forgive us as a true Father would. God is so happy when we keep the Passover and said so through hmany parables 2000 years ago:

Luke 15:3 "Then Jesus told them this parable: 4'Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep 5 and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent."
Let's confirm who are the righteous:

Luke 15:10 "In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
God is more happy with the one human who repents (repent=forgiveness of sins=Passover) than over all the righteous angels. How important is the Passover?

However, why do churches keep communion? They claim that when Jesus promised His body and blood through the bread and wine He was referring to communion. How could that be...if communion didn't exist yet?
