Springtime is on the way, and that means we are headed toward Passover and Easter. Jewish Passover and Christian Easter are forever connected because more than two thousand years ago in Jerusalem Jesus rose from the grave during Passover. It seems so fitting that as winter gives way to spring, we walk right into Passover and Easter., the Lord commanded His people to celebrate 3 annual festivals unto him.
“Seder” means “order” in Hebrew. The Seder is a ritual meal that combines food, song and storytelling. At the Seder, the story of the Exodus is told, remembered, reimagined, and celebrated . It’s the story of the Lord miraculously rescuing, delivering and saving his people from bondage in Egypt. Remembering and celebrating are both acts of worship—remembering God’s faithfulness and celebrating God’s faithfulness. Both center our focus, attention, and affection on the Living God and His salvation, deliverance, and sustained provision in our lives. The way to move forward with courage is to look back and recount God’s total faithfulness to us in the past both individually and communally—He has not forsaken us still. He has not failed us yet. He will not fail us in the future.
