This Week's Study - The Passover Seder

As leaders, Kevin and I feel that the more we dig back to Jesus' Jewish roots and the culture of the 1st Century in general, the deeper the meaning or our studies. Although half of our group loves history, and the other half doesn't, this has been an effective tool to really bring out the meanings of the scripture we're studying. Last week, we went deep into what it meant to be a Rabbi in Israel during the time of Jesus. It was fascinating to discover that Jesus' disciples were the "not good enoughs" and went on to follow their trade instead of continuing their life-long work of attempting to become a Rabbi. A comforting thought for those of us who think we're not good enough to do His work with our hands. This week, we are going to be studying the Passover Seder. We are anxious to learn more about the significance of the 4 cups of wine, and the bread as Jesus fulfilled another prophesy at the last supper. With Easter just 3 weeks away, this should be really cool. Shalom.
