The meaning of Passover

Exodus 12:1-14
The Passover from first month, the tenth day until the fourteenth day of the month.
If any household is too small for a whole lamb, they must taken share one with their nearest neighbor. It means be one in the Lord.
Passover is new year. Most importance is the lamb.
Joyful festival is the day of Pentecost. But New Year is the day of dead, have to alert to these days.
Blood is not the symbol but means the redeem of Jesus.
Eating means connection to the Lord, means baptized  and combine with the Lord.
If do not close to the Lord will week and powerless.
The way to close the Lord is waiting. Deeper and longer prayer needs prepared heart.
A new feast is instituted, and a new year begun (The time is March/April).
The Passover lamb or kid, barbecued over an ope fire in a pit, speaks of God's protection and provision for his people - Israel if God's firstborn.
The bitter herbs remind them of all their suffering in Egypt.
The flat unleavened bread recalls the haste of their departure (no time to use yeast, 'leaven', ad wait for the bread to rise).
How?
Remember the meaning of Passover and the Jesus blood shed for me.
