A Feast Fulfilled in Christ
Commentators unanimously explain that the Passover, established as a perpetual memorial, finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ. They see it as a direct foreshadowing of Christ, our 'Passover lamb' (1 Corinthians 5:7). The ordinance continues 'for ever' not in its original form, but through its substance being realized in Christ's sacrifice and remembered in Christian practices like Communion and Easter.
