Jewish passover meal

We had a team come from The Packing House Church in Redlands, CA last week.
One of the guys on the team, Pastor Bob, led us in a Seder Dinner (a Jewish Passover meal).  He's been to Israel over 40 times... this guy knows his stuff and his Hebrew.

 It might seem strange that a protestant Christian church would celebrate a Jewish tradition.


Well, the way we look at it... we are Christians, which means "little Christs," so we want to imitate how Jesus Christ lived.

 Jesus was a Jewish man, so we study and glean from His Jewish heritage.

It's so fascinating how each element of the Passover meal points to Jesus Christ Himself.

If you're interested in reading more about the elements of the meal, I found this site that seems to explain it pretty well.  In "the search for the Afikomen" after the meal, the kids were let loose to look for it.  Ben, who is pictured above, found it and got 5 euros - he was stoked.

I hope you enjoyed and learned something.  I sure did.
(And of course, Pierre did a fabulous job translating into French - thanks Pierre)
