Yes, do you?

No, I don't. I wouldn't think to do so. Jesus fulfilled passover - He is the Passover Lamb. Passover was old covenant - we are in the New Covenant now. Passover was a shadow of what was to come - which is accomplished to the fullest in Christ.

When I was in the Worldwide Church of God, we observed "Passover"--this is a church that considered itself "Christian", despite the verse in the NT that says Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us, which I think means that people who accept Christ are not required to observe the Feast of Passover because it was a type of Jesus' future sacrifice for Jews and Gentiles alike. I am not slamming you, grafted, since I did this myself. I am only saying that people who accept Christ's sacrifice as the Lamb of God are already observing His Passover for us.
