Religious events to examine Passover

By BRIAN WILLIAMS, Herald Staff Writer

Two local events will examine the connections between the Jewish Passover and the Christian Communion.

“Messiah in the Passover” will be 7 p.m. Saturday at Ottawa Bible Church, 1623 S. Poplar St., and “Christ in the Passover” will be 11 a.m. March 26 at the Ottawa University Chapel, 1001 S. Cedar St., Ottawa.

“It’s about understanding of the traditional Orthodox Jewish celebration and how it relates to Christianity,” Larry Carrier, Ottawa Bible Church head pastor, said about “Messiah in the Passover.”

Chosen People Ministries representative Jeffrey Kran will explain how the Jewish Passover symbolizes and points to the Messiah. Topics will include the meaning of Passover, Passover through the ages and the four cups of Passover.

Traditional foods and their meanings will be explained and some traditional desserts will be served, Carrier said.

The program is free and open to the public, but an RSVP is requested. Call the church at (785) 242-3211 for more information.

Ottawa University will set the table for Passover with the program “Christ in the Passover.”

Shlomy Abramov, of Jews for Jesus, will use a visual display of traditional Passover accouterments to enhance the Christian’s understanding and appreciation of the Jewish background of the Christian Communion. Ancient and modern Jewish customs will be discussed and described with an emphasis on the aspect of redemption, which Christ accomplished at Calvary, according to a university press release.

A table will be set with the traditional Jewish Passover items, including representative foods, which are explained but not eaten.

The ceremonial Seder plate, the three-compartment pouch in which the matzo (unleavened bread) is kept, as well as the traditional cup of Elijah will be presented, and new insights to their Christological significance will be provided.

Abramov will answer questions from those who attend the program, which is free and open to the public.
