Passover Seder

This Easter the Church at Lake Mead hosted a Passover Seder on good Friday. The guest pastor, Richard Hill, pastors a Messianic congregation called Beth Yeshua in Las Vegas. He and his wife have been missionaries here for 10 years. Their purpose is to reach the Jewish people for Christ and to share the rich meaning of Jewish traditions for all believers.

Passover was amazing. Each part of the seder was explained showing the significance to the OT Hebrews and today's believers. We said the prayers in Hebrew together and we remembered God's promise of deliverance. We ate and fellowshipped.

It was significant to me because I kept thinking about the last supper and how the disciples sat around for hours with Christ that night and missed all the symbolism that was going to happen in just a few days. It must have been bitter sweet for Christ as he thought about all the times He had rescued his people throughout history and now He was getting ready to physically deliver through his own sacrifice and yet it meant leaving the fellowship of those he loved and enduring pain and rejection from His father. Things would never be the same. Thank you, Jesus!
