His Final Footstepsنمونہ

The Passover Celebration When God commanded the institution of a yearly Passover observance for His people, He made it the first in an annual cycle of celebrations of remembrance. At the Passover Seder meal, the Jewish people commemorate the event in Egypt when the spirit of death passed over the Israelite nation on the night before their great deliverance from bondage. On that night, they were saved by placing the blood of a lamb upon their doorposts. The event foreshadowed the coming day when all humanity would be offered deliverance from slavery to sin and eternal death through the blood of Yeshua, the Lamb of God. Sadly, through the centuries many Christians have lost sight of the Jewish roots of their faith. As a result, many Believers have no idea that the meal we’ve come to know as “the Last Supper” was a Passover Seder. Every detail of the traditional Passover Seder is filled with Messianic symbolism. And when you understand that Yeshua and His disciples were celebrating a Seder, many of the details of the biblical narrative come into sharper focus. For example, Leviticus 23 verse 5 says, “The Passover was to begin at twilight” and concerning the Last Supper we read, “When it was evening, He came with the Twelve” (Mark 14:17 TLV). It wasn’t a coincidence that this meal was held at sundown; it was a direct command from the Lord. Food For Thought and Prayer Timing and order are clearly important to God. And His instructions to “rest” regularly are a key element in our worship of Him. Are there any areas of my life in which I have disregarded God’s designated order of things? Am I resting as I should? If not, why not?
