“Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you” (Joshua 3:5).
Jesus shared the Passover with His disciples, while teaching them that
something greater than the Passover was about to take place -
redemption through the shedding of His precious blood. God says,
“Gather to Me My consecrated ones, who made a covenant with Me by
sacrifice ... Sacrifice thank offerings to God ... “ (Psalm 50:5,14-15).
" ... Will you ... come and stand before Me in this house, which bears My Name, and say, We are safe" - safe to do all these detestable things? Has this house, which bears My Name become a den of robbers to you? But I have been watching! declares the Lord" (Jeremiah 7:8-11). “God demands a conversion of the mind and heart as the basis of peace and security (cf. Is 26:3), not the superstitious veneration of a stone building or a traditionally sacred site” ( R K Harrison , Jeremiah ).
