I have a very good friend that I am talking with about the RPW and how the Passover fits into things. I believe there are certain answers that are helpful, that I already have (from many of the theologians through history), but I'd like to know what everyone else thinks, or angles you would interject.
Here is the question:
If the RPW teaches that we do not add into worhip what God does not command, and only follows what God does command, then how to we reconcile these two passges:
Exodus 12:11 And thus you shall eat it: with a belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. So you shall eat it in haste. It is the LORD's Passover.
Then:
Luke 22:14-15 And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him. 15 And he said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
We know - 1) Jesus does not sin. 2) That God commanded the Israelties to eat the passover stadning up, and in a certain manner. 3) That Jesus is celebrating the Passover.
How would you reconcile God telling the people to eat the Passover in a certain way, and the manner that Jesus ate the Passover?
Any thoughts appreciated.
