How have you all fair during this Lent season? Praise God for all who are fasting and praying during this time! Don't worry if your aren't, 'cause I'm sure you're seeking God in your very own way... (like coming to MYF ^^)
Anyway, here something that might interest you... We bring to you "The Seder" (meaning: order) or the or the service during the Passover Celebration. Besides being a Jewish Celebration ranging all the way from the times of the Old Testaments, it also reminds us Christians what Christ has done for all of us-To redeem us all from the slavery of sin and death through His death on the cross! You see... (According to an interesting book on Passover-not me!)
The Israelites painted on their door post the blood of the first-born lamb that they sacrificed so that the Angel of Death will spare them of their first-born's life during God's judgement over Egypt (Ex. 12:1-14). Similarly, through the blood of Jesus (the Lamb of God) on the cross (door post), God promises to pass us with His judgement of death as we are to stand under its protection...
How lovely and wonderful is that???
Of course there are other representations and meanings. So if you don't want to miss out on the opportunity, do attend this Saturday's Passover Feast conducted by our very own Rev. Yew. Places are limited as we are not intending to accommodate the whole church (wished we could though) so please RSVP ASAP on our Facebook Event Page:
