Do You Eat Jesus?

There is are two more key issues that Messianics miss when claiming that Jesus was a Passover sacrifice. Both of these issues can be found in the commandments regarding the Passover sacrifice in Deuteronomy 16: 5-7. First, as we seen in verse 5-6, the Passover sacrifice can only be offered at the place where G-d will "cause His name to dwell in." The place where G-d's name dwelt was the Holy Temple. Jesus was not killed at the Holy Temple. Second, in verse 7 we see the commandment to roast and eat the Passover sacrifice. Jesus died on the cross, where Romans sent to death people accused of crimes such as trying to overthrow the Roman empire. Jesus was not roasted nor eaten (nor would it have been permissible under Jewish law to eat a person). As such, we again see that according to the Bible, Jesus could never have been considered the Passover sacrifice.
