Today begins Passover, one of the most celebrated holidays in the Jewish year, commemorating God’s saving power and the dawn of Jewish freedom from Egyptian slavery. Jesus, Himself a Jewish man, honored and celebrated Passover–and used it to institute what is now known as the Last Supper (also called the Eucharist or communion). Today, through the Scriptures, we hear how the Passover was established and how Jesus revealed Himself as the Passover lamb, on this, the eve before His crucifixion. Another very special guest reads to us from Exodus 12 and Matthew 26: 17-19 and 26-30.
