Bringing a message about the similarity of needing God’s deliverance today from the COVID 19 Pandemic and for the virus to Passover those who call upon the Name of God just as during the Passover story and as promised throughout the Holy Bible.
May God grant all his children a hedge of protection from illness and from the destruction that is going around the world and may Gods people draw close to Him and trust in His words of scripture that bring deliverance, peace and provision especially during this special Holy Week. In the Lord’s name.
In a recent article By Rabbi Evan Moffic on Beliefnet.com he compares the differing points of view about Passover held by Christian and Jews.
Near the beginning of every spring, Jews sit down around the table and celebrate the Passover meal. Many Christians do the same. But should Christians celebrate Passover? That’s a controversial question because Passover means different things for Jews and Christians.
Jews see it as God redeeming the people of Israel. Through miracles and the leadership of Moses, God led the people out of slavery in Egypt toward freedom in the Promised Land. Christians tend to see Passover primarily as the precursor to God’s eventual redemption of humanity through death and resurrection of Jesus, the ultimate Passover lamb.
While their interpretations of it differ, Passover can still bring Jews and Christians closer together. In my experience, Christian Passover celebrations reinforce what binds us. They also convey a deeply spiritual message about God’s desire for human freedom.
He continued with another great point:
The most important tradition of the Passover ritual meal is the telling of the Exodus story. The word hagaddah—which is the name of the book we read during the Passover meal—means “the story” in Hebrew.
Faith depends on stories because we remember stories more than facts. The Jewish rabbis taught through stories. Jesus taught through stories. Stories change us, shape us, and deepen our human sensitivities.
On Passover, we live those stories through interesting foods like matzah (unleavened bread) and charoset (a mixture of apples and nuts). Passover engages all of our senses and speaks to the soul, the mind and the body.
Through the Passover experience, God also calls us on to act. God splits the Red Sea and inflicts the ten plagues upon Egypt. But God also uses human beings. God sends Moses to tell Pharaoh to “let My people go.” Moses becomes God’s mouthpiece, helping bring God’s word to fruition here on earth. God works through each of us.
