Last Saturday was the night that the Jewish celebrate the Passover.  As Christians, we can examine the passover celebration and understand what it really means.  There are so many points of the passover meal that point directly to our Christ, the ultimate Lamb of Salvation. Our home church fellowship rotates homes, and though we generally meet on Sundays, the host this week switched it to Saturday and we celebrated a Sedar meal together.  I think there were about 40 of us present.  John (the host) performed the traditional role of the Father of the house, leading the prayers, but had each father serve his own family just as the tradition held he should. 

We prayed the traditional prayers, and John used a commentary to help us understand each part and what it meant historically, and what it means in light of Christ fulfilling the prophesies for the Messiah. Take the time to study this Holy Feast and then go and re-read the story of the Last Supper, Jesus' final Passover before his Death on the cross.  You will be amazed at how Jesus so eloquently wove together the Old Testament and the New Covenant he was fulfilling that very week.
