The Biblical way to celebrate Passover is with a meal which in Hebrew is called a Seder. This meal is the major event of the year and may last as long as five or six hours (although it doesn’t have to.) In terms of importance, it’s like Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas rolled into one.
Some people label biblical literature as “primitive”. We, however, see it as ancient wisdom. Or better yet, divine revelation, designed to reveal the heart of God in the context of history. And in this instance, God wants humanity to see Yeshua as a Lamb.
Every time the image of a lamb appears in Scripture, it signals a turning point. The tenth plague (Exodus 12) may indeed be the introduction of the lamb motif in Scripture, but it is not the first symbolic use of a sheep. Because, long before the Lamb of Exodus makes its appearance, the Ram of Genesis sets the stage.
People are often astonished to learn what kind of depth lies beneath the Church’s celebration of Passion Week.
