*Christ in the Passover*
*Passover =Haggadah*
When we mention the Passover  most people bring to mind the *Leonardo's Da Vinci painting of the Last Supper in *Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy.
Many churches have a beautiful reproduction of the painting.
In the church I served in Rogers a lady spend day’s croqshuaing a 5foot by 4foot reproduction of that masterpiece.
It was hung on the wall of the church.
The Painting  is a beautiful masterpiece of Italian Art, design, and focus.
*But the artist* is depicting the last supper as if it happened in 15 century Italian culture.
The artist did not know Jewish culture and Jewish practices.
Remember it shows 12 men sitting on chairs or standing on one side of the table as if to get their picture taken.
*I want to help you paint the correct picture in your mind.*
Jesus & the disciples did not sit at a table in chairs, like we do today.
The table was about 12 inches off the floor with cushions all around.
The table was called *a TRICLINUM* and was shaped like a U or channel iron,  a long table with one on each side.
#.
The Host would recline at the right table in the center.
That would be* Jesus.*
#.
The youngest member would reline to the right of Jesus.
That would be *John.*
*That was so the host to tell the Passover story in the ear of the youngest*
#.
The most honored and trusted guest reclined to behind Jesus,  that would be *Judas.*
It was the most trusted seat; he must protect the Hosts back.
It is interesting because Judas is known as Judas the knife.
Our Lord knew that Judas would betray him but placed him in the most honored position and the most trusted position, at his back.
#.
The servants reclined on the left side across from the Host so that the Host could catch the eye of the servants to meet the needs of the guests.
Most likely Peter would have been in last place.
*The Da Vinci painting picture is wrong because:*
#.
It is the wrong table.
Wrong height and wrong shape.
#.
There are no wine glass or wine bottle,  each person would drink 4 full glasses of wine.
#.
There are no pitches of water for washing hands or water catch basins during the Passover.
#.
The picture shows fish on a plate not lamb.
#.
The picture shows some of the disciples dressed in royal blue or purple.
That was too expensive and only kings could afford to have that color.
#.
The picture shows a bright blue Italian sky.
The Passover would begin at dusk as soon as you could see 3 stars.
#.
The Picture shows the family banners of *Leonardo's Da Vinci’s *patron Duke Ludovico Sforza
 
*The Passover Seder at **TRICLINUM*
  The Passover was a very special occasion; It would take place on the 14 of April each year.
You needed to go to Jerusalem to celebrate this event.
So many people traveled to Jerusalem and need a room for Passover that most families had an extra story added to their house to rent.
This is what Jesus sent his disciples to prepare.
Remember they were to follow a man carrying a water jug, that was unusual because that was a woman’s job.
We cannot go to Jerusalem tonight but we will try to give you the meaning of this great occasion.
*LESSONS:* Almost everything from the *White Linen,* white candle sticks, 3 pieces of Matzah food were all to teach everyone to ask questions.
What does that mean?
Why do we do that?
Why do we eat this?
 
*1.
**PURGE OUT THE LEVEN*
Passover doesn’t just happen.
It takes a lot of preparation.
The house must be clean –sterilized-in honor of this great occasion.
Every family member participates in this one-of-a-hind housecleaning.
The house must be free of all leaven.
Leaven is simply yeast, the stuff that makes bread rise, and it’s found in bread, cake, cookies.
I think that we got the idea of spring housecleaning from the Jews cleaning their house for the Passover.
Remember it was to be a fun family celebration.
It lasted in many homes from sundown to midnight.
It was not all serious: The children played a big part.
Some families sang fun songs.
*THE FATHER PLAYED A GAME WITH THE CHILDREN.*
*(ACTION)* The father plays a game concerning getting all the leaven out of the house.
*While mother* is busy in the kitchen, bringing out the special Passover dishes and tableware*, (kids close your eyes)* *father hides crumbs* of bread throughout the house- on bookshelves behind the furniture, on window sills, under a plate, then the children come like an army, ferreting out all the crumbs.
*(/This is where I think we got the tradition of the family Easter egg hunt.)/*/
/
When they find some breadcrumbs or leaven they *shout for father*, who comes with a feather and a wooden spoon.
He carefully brushes the crumbs into the spoon with a feather, carries them to the fire and throws them in.
The removal of Leven (chametz) is proceeded by the following prayer: *BLESSED ARE YOU, ADONI OUR GOD, CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, WHO MAKES US HOLY WITH YOUR MITZVOT, AND WHO COMMANDED US CONCERNING THE REMOVAL OF CHAMETZ.*
The symbolize the search and removal of all chametz at the Seder, *each person should look under the plate and remove (or pretend to remove) any traces of chametz they may find there*.
Immediately following the search, the following prayer is said: “*ANY CHETZ, WHICH IS IN MY POSSION THAT I DID NOT SEE, WHICH I DID OR DID NOR REMOVE, SHALL BE NULLIFIED AND BE OWNERLESS AS THE DUST OF THE EARTH.”*
I John 1:9 “*IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND TO CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.”*
Picture = The little sins and bad works are burned up (“*AND THE FIRE SHALL TRY EVERY MAN’S WORK OF WHAT SORT IT IS.”*
I Cor.
3:13
Paul said: “*PURGE OUT THEREFORE THE OLD LEAVEN, THAT YE MAY BE A NEW LUMP, AS YE ARE UNLEAVENED, FOR EVEN CHRIST OUR PASSOVER IS SACRIFICED FOR US: THEREFORE LET US KEEP THE FEAST, NOT WITH THE OLD LEAVEN, NEITHER WITH THE LEAVEN OF MALICE AND WICKEDNESS, BUT WITH THE UNLEAVENED BREAD OF SINCERITY AND TRUTH”* I Cor.
5:7-8
!!!!!! 2.                 WHITE LINEN, THE RIGHTEOUNESS OF SAINTS
Through Passover tends to vary from village to village, and even from house to house, but in preparation for the Passover they would get out the special white linen artifacts that go with the meal.
*WHITE LINEN* is *symbolic of righteousness* in the Scriptures, (Rev.
19:7-8) and the cleansed house is trimmed with it for the service.
The table is set with a *white tablecloth* and *white candles*, and father dons a *white robe*, called a kitel, and a *white crown*.
White dishes may be used, but in any case these dishes are very special.
They are not the dishes used throughout the rest of the year but are kept away from the others for exclusive use at Passover.
The proper kosher housewife keeps *4 sets of dishes*: two sets keep meat and milk meals separate during the year; two others keep milk and meat meals separated ruing Passover.
The splendid white artifacts, which included the various linens used on the table as part of the service, the napkins, etc, lend an atmosphere of purity and festivity to the meal.
*Father's costume is that of the High Priest* in the Tabernacle, who wore a pure white robe, and the effect, is that part of the official temple worship has been brought home for Passover.
*Father also symbolized **the risen Christ**, the High Priest, who glowed white after His resurrection.*
*3.
LIGHTING OF THE CANDLES* (Leader or Hostess)
*(ACTION)* Jewish women did very little in Orthodox Judaism.
*But women light the candles*.
WHY?
The symbol there is obvious.
*It was a woman who brought us Christ, the light of the World*.
Jesus could have come by many methods, He could have suddenly appeared or walked down the Mt or anything else imaginable when God sent Him.
But instead He was born of a woman.
He was born sinless.
*(WOMAN SAYS): “BLESSED ART THOU, O LORD OUR GOD, KING OF THE UNIVERSE, WHO COMMANDED US TO KINDLE THE PASSOVER LIGHTS.
*
*MAY ALL WHO ARE ENSLAVED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD COME TO KNOW FREEDOM.*
*MAY ALL WHO ARE FREE, APPRECIATE THE BLESSING OF ABUNDANCE.
AND MAY ALL OF US DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF GOD AND GIVE THANKS FOR OUR GOOD FORTUNE AND WE CELEBRATE THESE RITUALS OF PASSOVER.”*
*4.
(HOSTS POUR FIRST CUP* – Do Not drink yet)
*Why four?*
They serve as a reminder of the four references to Redemption that are mentioned in the Book of Exodus.
