Imagine you knew you only had a short time left to live and wanted to share a last meal with loved ones. Whom would you invite? What meal would you share together?
Of course, not everyone knows when their time on earth is coming to an end, but Jesus did. Before the dawn of time, the Father designed a plan to redeem us from sin through the sacrifice of his one and only Son. Our Savior. Our Lord and Passover Lamb. The time had arrived on God’s kingdom calendar for perfect love—and the entire reason Jesus came to earth—to come to pass. The passion of the cross.
“And Jesus knew that his hour had come to leave this world and return to his Father” (John 13:1 NLT).
As with everything he did, Jesus intentionally chose his last actions on earth with divine precision down to every eternal detail to fulfill his Father’s plan, including the words he expressed to his beloved disciples over the most significant Passover meal in history.
Today please join me and my special guest and author Lois Tverberg, for a discussion on the timeless purpose of Passover and what this means for your faith today. Lois is the author of Walking in the Dust of Rabbi Jesus, Reading the Bible with Rabbi Jesus, and co-author of Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus. Lois has a Ph. D in Biology and taught as a college professor before discovering her fascination with Jesus’ first-century Jewish world. She left a life in academia to devote herself full-time to teaching and writing on the topic, and now has been at it for twenty years.
