The Seder


Fellowship

Recently, we gathered with some of our friends from our Israel Tour for an "authentic" Seder, that is a celebration of Passover. Dr. Wallace hosted, and via careful research presented with his wife and son an awesome experience. We started with ritual foot and hand washing, and continued through the various phases of the Passover meal as described by first century Jewish writings. The meal included the four ceremonial glasses of wine, each of which had awesome significance in God's redemptive plan. The main course was lamb (appropriately). Altogether, it was a wonderful experience of fellowship with our Israel friends, and an educational glimpse into the last supper shared by Christ and His disciples.
