I haven't honored Pesach with my Messianic congregations. In absence of a Temple, I honor it according to the Tabernacle Period. At my fondest congregation, one of my fondest members questioned me about this; so I walked through it with him. When we got to the part about putting the blood on my door posts; he said "Wait a minute! You put the blood on your doorposts?" Then he playfully asked, "do the cops come?"
I pointed out to him, and the listening crowd, that YHWH said that we are to do this forever.
Exodus 12:21-24
Complete Jewish Bible
(v) 21 Then Moshe called for all the leaders of Isra’el and said, “Select and take lambs for your families, and slaughter the Pesach lamb. 22 Take a bunch of hyssop leaves and dip it in the blood which is in the basin, and smear it on the two sides and top of the door-frame. Then, none of you is to go out the door of his house until morning. 23 For Adonai will pass through to kill the Egyptians; but when he sees the blood on the top and on the two sides, Adonai will pass over the door and will not allow the Slaughterer to enter your houses and kill you. 24 You are to observe this as a law, you and your descendants forever.
