‘Christ in the Passover’ scheduled at Federated Church of Sandwich

When Jesus celebrated the Last Supper with the disciples, he was actually celebrating a Jewish Passover. Arielle Randle of Jews for Jesus will re-create the traditional Passover service and explain how it foreshadowed Jesus’ death and resurrection in a presentation called “Christ in the Passover” at 5 p.m. April 8 at The Federated Church of Sandwich.

Randle will set a table with items traditionally used at the Passover meal and detail their spiritual significance.

She also will explain the connection between the events of the first Passover in Egypt and the redemption that Jesus accomplished, as well as the deep bond between the ancient Passover feast and the Christian communion celebration today.

Jews for Jesus has presented “Christ in the Passover” at more than 38,000 churches. It has been enthusiastically received by Christians who appreciate learning more about the Jewish background of their faith.

Moishe Rosen, who founded Jews for Jesus in 1973, also has co-written a book, “Christ in the Passover,” with his wife, Ceil. This seminal work includes a look at Passover in ancient times and how it is practiced today. It will be available after the presentation. Also available will be a DVD of the “Christ in the Passover” presentation with David Brickner, the executive director of Jews for Jesus, officiating.

Randle will answer questions after the presentation. Call 815-786-8595 or visit fedconnection.net for information. There is no admission charge.
