Seder (Passover) Meal
The Passover Seder is a family meal held in observance of the command of the Lord to tell each new generation the story of God’s miraculous redemption of his people Israel from slavery in Egypt. It engages all one’s senses, so that each individual – even a child – gets to think of themselves as being redeemed from bitter slavery to enjoy complete freedom. The Hebrew word “Seder” (pronounced “say-dehr”) translates to “order” in English and there is a set order to the “Telling” (Hebrew – Haggadah). Jesus celebrated Passover with his disciples and filled the observance with a much fuller meaning for all his followers, both Jewish and Gentile. The communion service arose from the elements of Jesus’ Seder meal, so it is fitting that we should celebrate this meal together as a Christian community on the night Jesus celebrated it and do it as he commanded “… in remembrance of me.” (See Luke 22:7-23)
