Passover

Each year we celebrate Passover on the Thursday before Easter. We use "Christ in the Passover" by Ceil & Moishe Rosen as our guide. It has been another great opportunity to teach our boys more about the gospel.

Here's the table - all ready with the Seder plate.

Here's Kyle washing the boys' feet. We do this in remembrance of Jesus washing the disciples' feet during the Last Supper.


I think Camden's feet are ticklish. :)


Here's a summary of the events that took place on the Thursday and Friday before Easter. I'm so grateful that Christ went through all of this so that we could be saved.

Thursday
Jesus and His disciples prepared the Passover lamb, and they had their Passover meal in the Upper Room. Jesus shared powerful truth with His disciples and offered an intercessory prayer in their behalf. They arrived at the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus suffered in agony awaiting what was to come. Later that night Jesus was betrayed and arrested. He was tried first by Annas and later by Caiaphas and other religious leaders.

Friday
Early in the morning, Jesus was tried by the Sanhedrin, Pilate, Herod Antipas, and Pilate again. He was led to the cross and crucified at 9:00 a.m. and died at 3:00 p.m. and was buried later that day. Christ the Paschal Lamb died at the time with the Israelites were sacrificing their Passover lambs.
