What the Bible Says About Passover and Jesus

Thanks for joining us today. It is Passover week, so there is much to study and too little space. We begin with a confession of ignorance: It was not until my late 20s that I knew the Last Supper was a Passover Seder. That fact is never revealed nor discussed among my Jewish people except for Messianic Jews, of which I am one. Messianics celebrate Passover Seders with the Hebrew Bible and Gospel connections, pointing to and believing that Jesus is who He said He was—the Messiah.

Growing up in a Jewish nonreligious home, my parents occasionally celebrated their heritage. In Vol. 107, I chronicled my childhood Passover Seder memories, and again today, so new readers can better understand my Passover perspective.

My mother’s brother-in-law, Uncle Sam — the most devout at our table — always read from the Haggadah. That is the Passover narration of the Exodus Bible story, which guides and explains the symbolism of the Seder meal. Like clockwork, after about 15 minutes my father would interrupt Sam’s Haggadah reading to say, “Enough already, let’s eat!”
