Yeshua was up early. It was the day of the Passover sacrifice. Thousands would be waiting at the Temple to sacrifice lambs and kid goats. All animals had to be without blemish. Lambs had to be at least eight days old and no older than a year. Because he was a first born, Yeshua was going to fast today. His parents were going to let him eat at lunch time. Later, he could have yogurt and butter. Because of God's Passover laws, he could not eat leavened bread.
Yeshua went with his father to the Temple. Yeshua had their Passover lamb on a short leash. Yosef explained to his son what was going to happen. He was very sad when he heard what was going to happen to the lamb. He told his father that he thought this huge sacrifice was inhumane to animals. Yosef was amazed at his son's concerns about the sacrifice process. Yeshua held onto the lamb until the last moment. He was not happy about it but it had to be done. He felt sorry for their Paschal lamb.
