Our Hebrew History

We enjoyed Brother Richard Hill and his Jewish Seder presentation.  How interesting to see the likenesses and parallels made between the Passover  celebration and the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ.  We experienced the bitter herbs and the horseradish spread and then the sweet contrast of the apples and cinnamon.  What an interesting way to experience the feel of what the Children of Israel experienced as they left Egypt for the promised land.  Then we saw the way the blessing of the unleavened bread reminded us of the work of Jesus Christ.  How exciting it was to see how the experience of the Hebrew children helped prepare the world for the Messiah, Jesus Christ, who has redeemed us from our sins.  I somehow feel a bit more ready for the Passover/Resurrection Season.   Sunday we will begin a series of messages that will helps us be better prepared to share the wonderful message of Jesus Christ.
