What is Passover?
Passover is the day Jesus died. The Biblical Jewish festival of Passover commemorates the Israelites’ liberation from the land of Egypt thousands of years ago. Today, Passover is celebrated with a dinner accompanied by liturgy (recited readings), and symbolic elements reminding us of the Passover. Symbolic elements of Passover, the Seder are use so we can Embrace the Festivals Holistically. In order to fully understand the story of Passover, we must first understand how it tells OUR story.
We are storytelling in the Passover season. When we look at the Exodus, we can see that in fact it is a story—and it’s an epic tale of freedom. God wrote this story as a picture of all our stories. What we see in the Exodus is symbolic of what we live when we taste God’s redemption. As our lives come to embody the purpose and truth to which the original Exodus pointed, we will continue telling the story of freedom in our generation.
What is a Passover Dinner?
A Passover Dinner or Seder, is a meal where we tell the stories of how we found freedom in Jesus. We eat food throughout the night that is symbolic, tangible and helps us tell our stories.
