Passover

A small group of people met tonight at the temporary headquarters of Albion Christian College to celebrate the Passover feast. There was food and food and food, as well as some sort of readings or something, I don't remember. I am stuffed. The end of the Passover feast tells people that we will meet "next year, in the New Jerusalem!" I couldn't help but add, in Albion.
The passover service was very helpful in realizing that God's promises to the people of Israel came about through a time of things getting much worse (the Egyptians made them cut their own straw) and did not get better until the Israelites were just about sick. This night is a good night to remember God's redemption and the bitter taste of our sin and the meaning of what Jesus did here.
