In my eagerness to live a life which is pleasing to God, my Creator. I'm discovering spiritual insights which drastically change my worship to God. One of these insights concerns PASSOVER, known among Chris-tians as the time to commemorate the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, institutionalized in the Holy Communion ritual. As you know my spiritual journey took a turn around march 2014 as my eyes opened to the fact that Yeshua didn't come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it. As Yeshua was fulfilling the Law He became the Lamb that was slaughtered for our sins. This means that the sin-offering as instructed by God (Lev.4) was fulfilled in Yeshua, who offered himself for our deliverance. In seeing that, I immediately remembered God's promise to write His law on the tables of our hearts in the new covenant - Jer.31:33, Hebr.8:10. So if God promised to write His law on the tables of our hearts that means that they are still valid and if they are still valid they cannot be abolished at the same time and as they cannot be abolished they need to be treasured as our standard for living.
In the early-history of the Christian Church the Last Supper of Yeshua was institutionalized and or-dained as a holy sacrament separated from the Pesach Seder and Feast of the Unleavened Bread. But as the Bible writes the 'Last Supper' was simply part of the 'Seder Diner' which the Lord-God has in-structed for His people at the appointed time (mikra kodesh) - Lev. 23. As being the Messiah Yeshua was not only devoted to the will of the Father, but He definitely was accustomed to the Jewish tradi-tions of celebrating the appointed feasts which were ordained by God. So actually Yeshua was cele-brating the Pesach Seder and Feast of the Unleavened Bread with His disciples to commemorate how God had powerfully delivered his people out of bondage in Egypt. And it was during the procedures of this ritual that Yeshua took wine and unleavened bread and related them to His blood that would be shed and His body that would be broken for our deliverance from sin - Mat.26:17vv.
Question is, does this intervention of Yeshua as He took wine and unleavened bread the so-called Holy Communion be a substitute for the Pesach Seder? I don't belief it is. Yeshua does not instruct us to stop celebrating Pesach Seder. Now He wants us to remember Him as the Passover Lamb as we celebrate the appointed Feast of Passover and the Feast of the Unleavened Bread - Lev.23. So, this intervention of Yeshua was institutionalized and ordained as holy Communion and separated from the appointed Feasts of the Lord - Lev.23 - due to the belief that the appointed feasts were not te be celebrated any longer since these feasts were part of the Law and the Law was fulfilled in Yeshua the Messiah. Since I believe that Yeshua did not come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it I am joyfully preparing for the upcoming feasts of Pesach en the Feast of the Unleavened Bread. Wonna join me? You're definitely welcome, I can assure you that you will experience your Creator-God as never before. Denise Sumter.
Ever since I started Torah-studies I get these epiphanies on certain topics. Viewing the Word from it's Hebraic background definitely produces one epiphany after the other. This one is about 'The Holy Supper'. I never new that 'The Last Supper' of Yeshua and the 12 was part of a Seder Haggadah. I always thought that it was about the bread and the wine....wow!....What an eye-opener. This is what I discovered.
