Last week our family continued the tradition of enjoying a Passover celebration.  I love the symbolism that non-Messianic Jews sadly miss:  the three pieces of matzoh bread (representing the Trinity) with the second piece broken and hidden away (Jesus' broken body), the hidden matzoh later retrieved (the resurrection?), and the cup of fellowship (of which Jesus did not partake on the night before his death since he had the cup of wrath to drink, but that we enjoy because of His sacrifice).  There's so much more of course: Jesus, the Passover lamb himself; salt water to remember the tears of bondage while in Egypt (our bondage to sin before redemption);  herbs to remember the hyssop which brushed the blood above the doorposts (perhaps a tie-in to John 19 or Hebrews 9?). 

I love the fact that God gives us Old Testament pictures to point us towards Christ and opportunities today to be reminded of the work done in Him. Our celebration was indeed a time of great rejoicing and thankful remembrance of the Lord's passing-over.
