Haggadah

I was invited last night to a Seder

where the story of Passover was told.

They had a Seder plate in the middle of each table,

along with a whisk to remove the leaven (sin),

a candle, the Matzoh, the bowl for washing the hands,

and the 4 cups (Sanctification, Deliverance, Redemption & Praise).

The Passover Seder Plate Hebrew: ke'ara (קערה) is

a special plate containing symbolic foods used by

Jews during the Passover Seder.

Each of the six items arranged on the plate

has special significance to the retelling of the story

of the exodus from Egypt, which is the focus of this ritual meal.

The ceremony lasted for about an hour and a half

and ended with a celebration dance.

I have always been interested in learning

of Old Testament practice relating to the coming

of the Messiah, and considered it a blessing

to be at this Christian held event.

Did you know that when each man took a lamb

for his family, that they had to keep it among

themselves (in the house, with the family)

for 4 days before they would sacrifice it?

And, did you know that

when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the donkey,

He was there 4 days before He was crucified?

JESUS - The Lamb of God!

Amen
