The Passover And Good Friday

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Mar 8, 2022

Passover is a Jewish festival celebrating the exodus from Egypt and the Israelites’ freedom from slavery to the Egyptians. The Feast of Passover, along with the Feast of Unleavened Bread, was the first of the festivals to be commanded by God for Israel to observe (see Exodus 12).

Passover and Good Friday. Exodus 12: 1-51u We take so much for granted. We walk outside and experience the world around us, often without any thought of its majesty and grandeur. We see the night sky, the trees, the ocean, the mountains, any of which is immense enough to overwhelm us as we try ...read more

Ah, the good ol’ days. When you hear those words, what comes to mind? What do you think about when you hear the phrase, “good ol’ days”? Do memories of your childhood spring back to life?

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Apr 17, 2024
