What do the Jewish Passover and Jesus' Last Supper have in common?
Rich Robinson, speaking on behalf of Jews for Jesus, will answer that question in a presentation called "Christ in the Passover" at Grace Baptist Church, 1280 W Jewett, White Salmon, on Friday, April 10, at 7 p.m.
Using a visual display of traditional Passover objects the "Christ in the Passover" presentation enhances the Christian's understanding and appreciation of the Jewish background of the Christian Communion.
Ancient and modern Jewish customs are discussed and described, as a table is set with the traditional Jewish Passover items, including representative foods which are explained, but not eaten. The ceremonial Seder plate, the three-compartment pouch in which the matzo (unleavened bread) is kept, as well as the traditional cup of Elijah are presented, and new insights to their significance are provided.
Dr Moishe Rosen, the founder of Jews for Jesus, said "The Christ in the Passover presentation is one way Jews for Jesus can help churches appreciate the Jewish roots of the Christian faith. Our message is not new, but we're telling it in a new way. For too long the Jewish roots of Christianity have been forgotten."
The program is open to the general public and Rich Robinson will be available to answer questions those attending might have.
