What do the Jewish Passover and Jesus’ Last Supper have in common?

Rahel Landrum, speaking on behalf of Jews for Jesus, will answer that question in a presentation called “Christ in the Passover” at Good News United Methodist Church, on March 4th at 6 p.m.

Using a visual display of traditional Passover accoutrements, 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 with an emphasis on the aspect of redemption.

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 Christological significance are provided.

Jews for Jesus has presented this demonstration in more than five thousand churches.

It was written in 1956 by Moishe Rosen, the founder and former executive director of Jews for Jesus.
