Consider Passover

Consider Passover…

In this post, we’re going to take a look at some ceremonies during the Passover, which is fitting since Passover’s being celebrated April 18th this year. This post is intended for anybody to read. Don’t let a little bit of scripture scare you off.

I’d like to start off by sharing this scripture and what can be found if you look close enough. So you can listen or read by clicking here. But I’d like you to focus on this verse.

John 20: 30-31

The Purpose of John’s Gospel
30 Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 31 But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

You may be wondering what this scripture has to do with Passover. Well, don’t worry because I’m going to tell you. I’m only going to share one aspect of Passover. If you ever get time, you should learn about it.

Okay, this tradition was done so the children can get involved. And I believe this was done as a tradition before Jesus was born.

Okay, so there’s this little white pouch with three little pockets. And a piece of unleaven (bread with no yeast) bread is placed in the middle pocket. Then the head of the household take a piece of the bread and breaks it and hides it when the children aren’t looking. Whichever child finds it first gets a prize.

It’s interesting how Jesus was on the middle cross, broken and pierced, just like the unleaven bread. The Lord was placed in a tomb and wrapped up. And when He rose from the dead, He seemed to be missing or hiding. Mary was the first one to find Him. And the prize was, Jesus truly was the Messiah, and rose from the dead just like he said he would.

2 Peter 1:19-21

19 We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

And if you explore these further scriptures, you’ll find that it’s common sense practical living. These people were telling us exactly what they saw. They were eyewitnesses to these events. And if you read even further further into these scriptures, into the next chapter (2 Peter 2). They don’t mess around. If it were fake, it wouldn’t make sense. But the awesome thing is it does make sense. But only God through His one and only Son, Yeshua can give you the power through the Holy Spirit.

Something to consider for this Passover season.
