There is no more meaningful celebration in Jewish life than that of
Passover.It is deeply rooted in Jewish history and an essential
part of Jewish identity. But Passover is also as wide as it is
deep, because Jewish communities around the world have added their
own particular flavors by elaborating upon already existing
traditions or even contributing their own.A brief tour of some of
them can add to our appreciation of how the creativity of the
Jewish people has adorned the ancient story and the time-honored
traditions of the Exodus. Both the timing of the event and the
Apostolic writings reveal that the Passover sacrifice was a type
and foreshadowing of an even greater event. The Messiah, the true
Lamb, would be sacrificed and His blood accepted as protection from
the bondage and slavery of eternal death. Jewish Because there is
no longer a Temple in which to perform the sacrifice of a lamb,
Rabbinical law has replaced the Passover sacrifice with the seder
ceremony. The seder is a memorial dinner which is designed to
remember the coming out of the bondage of slavery in Egypt and also
the entering of the Promised Land. Christian The blood of Messiah,
as the fulfillment of the Passover sacrifice, brings atonement for
sin and salvation from death. However, the Passover sacrifice has
been associated with or replaced by the Last Supper (or the
communion meal). Messianic The Jewish and Christian themes of the
Passover sacrifice have been combined together within Messianic
Judaism. The Passover sacrifice has been replaced by a seder meal
which represents the Last Supper (specifically, the third cup of
wine and the matzah). It memorializes both the coming out of Egypt
and sacrificial death of the Messiah on the cross. The "Jesus in
the Passover" demonstration is ideal for any Sunday, but a
demonstration that includes your communion service is especially
meaningful. Passover banquets are appropriate all year, but are
very popular during the Passover/Easter season. Many churches find
that a banquet works well on a Friday or Saturday. If you're
