“Christ in the Passover”
Posted on March 7th, 2008
Last night, about eighty people attended a “Christ in the Passover” presentation given by Rob Wertheim of Jews for Jesus. Rob’s forty-five minute presentation went over each of the elements of a traditional Jewish Passover Seder meal and how each element points to Jesus as the Jewish Messiah, the spotless lamb of God sacrificed for the sin of the world. After the presentation, we all celebrated Communion. It was especially gratifying to have members of First Baptist and Zion Hill Baptist churches, two African-American churches, in our midst. As we received the bread and the cup together, we experienced the truth of St. Paul’s affirmation proclaimed in Galatians 3:28: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”
