Thursday
God had a plan to preserve his people.
God promised to pass over the homes marked with lambs blood when he stuck Egypt with this final plague. The plague wouldn’t touch anyone inside. That same night, they were to roast the lamb and eat it along with bitter herbs and bread made without yeast. He told them to eat quickly, because they would need to leave right away after he passed over. On the night the Lord swept through the streets of Egypt, the first born of every Egyptian household and the firstborn of all their animals died. But the Lord passed over every house with lamb’s blood on their door frames.
God told the Hebrew people to commemorate this day for generations to come; to celebrate it as a festival to the Lord – a lasting ordinance. This festival is called The Passover. The night that Jesus was betrayed, he first had a meal with his disciples. It’s likely that this last meal was a Passover Seder meal: the meal that marks the beginning of the Passover Festival.
We’re going to sample some of the foods that were likely on that Passover table, and some that would be on a more modern Jewish Passover table. We’ll talk about why they were on the table, what their significance was, and we’ll explore the connection between these items and Jesus. We’ll serve a lamb stew for dinner so please try and RSVP to help us with the preparations.
