Passover

The Passover Seder

Lots of people wrongly assume that since we are in the period of the new convenent, most of the things that are in the old testament are obsolete. When I tell some of my Christian friends I was doing a Passover they asked, "Passover? What is that?" It is sad but true that something so significant and important in both the Christian and Jewish faiths is being neglected by us Christians.

Do Christians know about the story of Passover? Do Christians know that the first holy communion ever conducted was conducted on Passover which was recorded in the Gospels? If we do not know the answers to those two questions then I think we are missing a very important part of our Christian faith. Therefore I encourage everyone to be curious not only about the Passover but the rest of the Jewish festivals. I pray that you will see God's plan of salvation for you and the rest of the human race in it.
