It is interesting that Jesus doesn't spend time with his family. I know he spent the day before with Mary, Martha and Lazarus has always told me he had his affairs in order and could be with friends. It seems like I remember reading that he talked with his brothers about going to the passover. Maybe his time with them was too personal to be recorded by the disciples.<br /> When I look at the meal served for the passover I am ashammed at how much we eat for holidays. I know the tradition of Passover was supposed to be a meal that could be eaten on the run to remind them of their escape from Egypt and that the angel of death passed over. What do you think the bitter herb is? It reminds me of turnips which I rarely eat as not my favorite.<br /> Passover and Communion remind us of the gift of salvation. I would like to say I never disappointed Jesus but that would not be true. With communion I get the chance to ask God to help me be the Christian He wants me to be. Communion has also taken on a deeper meaning for me since having children as I know the near impossibility of giving up either one of my children. God does not love us lightly.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10970819117236083843noreply@blogger.com
