Although we can’t gather this year, you may want to observe the “last supper” on Thursday, Apr 1, in your homes.
Traditionally known as Jesus’ last Passover meal with the disciples, it is where He gave his final commandment that we love one another.
Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’ I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” —John 13:33-35 (NRSV)
As Christians, we observe the Seder Meal in honor, and to increase the understanding, of Jesus’ Jewish roots. The Seder is structured around the sharing of four cups of wine or grape juice, each symbolizing one of the themes - Sanctification, History, Thanksgiving, and Hope. The purpose is to tell the story of the Exodus. To learn how to prepare the table and the service, please read this document with care, to show respect to our Jewish brothers and sisters.
