The only difference I see is the way the Passover was kept.
Jeremiah: 31. 31. "The days are coming," declares the Lord, "when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. 32. It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them, " declares the Lord. 33. "This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time," declares the Lord. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 34. No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest," declares the Lord. "For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."
Through the Passover the Israelites left Egypt when God gave instruction to sacrifice the lamb and eat its flesh and put the blood around the door. Also the Passover gives us forgiveness of sins. Not exactly the cross.
Matthew: 26. 26. While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." 27. Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave 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.
And what ceremony did they eat that gave forgiveness of sins?
Matthew: 26. 17. On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?" 18. He replied, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, 'The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. 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.
So aren't all churches encouraging members to do Passover New Covenant?
