Last Wednesday night we went to the home of our friends Ash and Audra McEuen to celebrate a Messianic Seder service or A Passover Haggadah. Ash is a United Methodist pastor. He has led a Passover Haggadah service about 15 times. This service is written by Messianic Jews who believe in Jesus as the Messiah. It was a special time to learn of this Old Testament festival and especially how it points the way to Jesus.
The table is set with a roasted shank bone of a lamb, a roasted hard boiled egg, bitter herbs, a sweet mixture of chopped apple and nuts, parsley, ground horseradish, and salt water. The service is celebrated to remember the events surrounding the Exodus and Passover in the Old Testament and is rich in symbolism regarding our Lord, Jesus Christ.
We thank God for the friends we have made here, and for a special night shared together as we look towards Easter and the significance of the resurrection of Jesus, both in our lives and in the lives of others whom we are here to serve.
