This Monday evening is the Eve of Passover. All over the world, observant Jews will be removing yeast from their homes in accordance with the scriptures. We, too, are commanded, by Paul, to keep the Festival of Passover and to remove the yeast of malice and wickedness. (1 Cor 5.6-8)
As we remove yeast from our kitchens, lives, and hearts—
let us remember.
As we gather with families and friends—
let us remember.
As we break the unleavened bread and drink the wine—
let us remember.
While we in our freedom are remembering the Exodus from Egypt and the salvation from sin—
let us remember.
While we in our homes are remembering the God of Israel and the Israel of God—
let us remember.
While we celebrate God’s epic story of redemption through the Messiah Jesus—
let us remember.
Let us remember the untold tales of those in modern slavery.
Let us remember, pray, and do righteousness deeds on their behalf.
Let us remember to help abolish slavery. http://www.iabolish.com/passover/
