Supper’s Ready “For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup you are retelling the message of the Lord’s death, that he has died for you. Do this until he comes again.” 1 Corinthians 11:26
The name Passover reminded the Israelites of the night in Egypt when the Lord “passed over” their houses because they had put blood on their doorposts. In their slave masters’ houses, where there was no blood, the oldest son died. That night Pharaoh let the Israelites leave Egypt. They were free! The Facts, Please!
After that, God told the Israelites to celebrate Passover once a year in the spring at the time of the full moon. At this special supper, certain things were eaten: A roasted lamb-This was a year-old male that was perfect, without any defects. It was taken to the temple, where it was killed. Its fat was burned, and its blood was offered on the altar. Then it was taken home and roasted. More Facts, Please!
Unleavened bread-This was bread that had no leaven in it. It was eaten at Passover and for the next week. Leaven is like yeast, which causes bread to rise. Un leavened bread is thin and hard. When the Israelites escaped from Egypt, the women didn’t have time to bake raised bread, so they ate this instead. Bitter Herbs- This was wild lettuce or something similar. It reminded the Israelites of the bitterness of slavery. A sauce-This was called charoseth. It was a paste of dried dates, raisins, and vinegar, and was about the color of a brick. Red wine-A drink made from the juices of grapes. Things to eat continued.
