Passover Seder Notes

April 16th, 2026
by Jeff Atchison
Hello Friends! These are my teaching notes from our Passover Seder study. I apologize that these are not formatted for easy reading - these were for my own reference. But I hope you find them helpful for recalling all we studied together at our Seder.

Amazing Grace (Chains are Gone)
Wonderful Maker

Intro

KEY TERMS

“PESACH” / “PASSOVER” = the whole celebration, including the meal and the Haggadah

Should be a week–long remembrance / as it coincides with the feast of Unleavened Bread / they go together / Like our Holy Week leading up to Resurrection Sunday (Easter)

Rez Sunday is also called “PESACH” in many cultures / seeing the connection between Easter and the Passover

In Spanish, PASCUA refers to both Passover and Easter / they are one in the same

“SEDER” = “ORDER” = this is the traditional step–by–step celebration

The seder evolved over time through practice / the modern practices are not spelled out in scripture
It varies among each Jewish community
Families come up with their own traditions as well

If we were truly having a Seder together (and not just a study!), we’d need to be in a home together, sitting around a table, enjoying the meal, and then we’d share the Haggadah to the kids

“HAGGADAH” = “THE TELLING”

Explaining the Passover to children
It famously begins with the question “Why is this night different than any other night?”
Among Jewish families, this is a time for FUN / object lessons / taste and smell / visuals (we’ll explain these as we work through the ceremony)
It ends with a game and a prize
It includes a fun song / Dayenu / a tongue twister

For Messianic Jews or Christians reenacting this…
We would tell the story of the Exodus, and the Israelites rescue and redemption from slavery in Egypt /

Then we’d share how it all points to Jesus!
Because—
As Jesus celebrated Passover, He revealed Himself as the fulfilment of it!
1 Cor 5:7 • Jesus IS our Passover
Col 2:16–17 • And He is the substance of the OT traditions, such as Passover

The challenge for the Messianic Passover / the TONE

As I was studying this, I was struck by a challenge for the Messianic Seder and the Haggadah

In a Jewish home, looking only at God freeing the slaves from Egypt, the Haggadah is UPBEAT and FUN

There is a reminder of the tears of the slaves and the hard lives they lived under Pharaoh’s power / but overall, the THEME is the JOY of being set free / their release / celebration / victory over the enemy

But for the Christian or Messianic Jews, the mood should be different

We know what Jesus had to endure in order to set us free from slavery to sin and death / It is PERSONAL, as we consider the story of the crucifixion and the brutality of what Jesus endured for us individually

So, there is a more SOMBER UNDERTONE in the Messianic Passover / the Lord’s Table is part of this ceremony / and as we observe the Lord’s Supper in a worthy way, we need to treat the Seder with HONOR and RESPECT / considering our hearts / repenting of sin

So, that is the CHALLENGE

This is ultimately JOY / VICTORY / FUN = because we’ve been set free / and this is meant to instruct the children

But we must keep the Crucifixion of Jesus and His Resurrection CENTRAL / having a humble heart overcome with gratitude

So, for the Messianic Seder = strive for BALANCE!
SOMBER yet JOYFUL
FUN yet MEANINGFUL
SIMPLE yet PROFOUND

KEY SYMBOLISMS

“MATZAH” = “UNLEAVENED BREAD”

Unleavened bread is a week–long festival and Passover is part of this festival.

The scriptural explanation of the Unleavened Bread is found in Exodus 12

Exodus 12:15 & 17
15       ‘Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, but on the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses; for whoever eats anything leavened from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel.
17       ‘You shall also observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as a permanent ordinance.

It remembers the rescue from Egypt in how Israel didn’t have time to bake bread properly for their journey, but had to make bread without rising yeast.

SPRING FEASTS

Unleavened Bread & Passover is part of the four Spring feasts

Exodus 12:2 • From now on, this month will be the first month of the year for you

The month referred to is Nisan (previously the 7th month)  / it becomes the first month of the religious calendar after Exodus. Rosh Hashanah still begins the civil calendar year (month of Tishrei, which is the 7th month of the religious cycle)

Each Spring feast points to Jesus in an amazing way 
UNLEAVENED BREAD = Jesus is  SINLESS
PASSOVER = Jesus was SACRIFICED on this day (the 14th day)
FIRST FRUITS = Jesus was RAISED on this day (1st day of the week after Passover)
PENTECOST =  The Holy Spirit filled His CHURCH on this day (50 days after)

REMOVING THE LEAVEN

To celebrate unleavened bread, our Jewish friends go through the house and get rid of all YEAST or yeast products / house cleaning / and they refrain from eating any leavened bread during this week

Yeast itself is not sinful in scripture / nor is eating fluffy bread / but it is often used as a symbol of sin / Various mentions of the yeast of sin in the NT…
Paul describes sin like leaven because it spreads and multiplies and grows
Leaven–like sins…
The PRIDE of folks like Herod or the Priests
The FALSE RELIGION of the Jews: the Sadducees & Pharisees
LEGALISM – man made religion of vain works
BOASTING over others
MALICE toward others

So, throughout our celebration, have a heart of REPENTANCE / this celebrates UNLEAVENED BREAD

THE FAMILY MEAL

Side note: We are not truly celebrating a Seder tonight because we aren’t sharing a meal. A Seder without a supper is like fasting on Thanksgiving. It just doesn’t work! So, have a special dinner with friends where you are fellowshipping in Jesus’ name and talking about how special He is to you and how He has set you free!

What to eat at a Passover dinner?

Many Jewish families will serve a matzah ball and chicken soup / very traditional / or perhaps a nice beef brisket

Surprisingly, they don’t eat lamb on Passover! They do place a SHANK BONE on the Passover Plate as a reminder of the Lamb / but the Lamb is missing.

Why…? Because this was to be done in Jerusalem / at the temple / and the lamb was to be sacrificed by the priests. So, it sacrilegious to eat lamb on Passover / without a priesthood or a temple / having lamb on Passover suggests an improper sacrifice was made

You might want to ask your Jewish friends about this! In Exodus, the Passover Lamb was crucial—its blood on the doorpost was the protection from the death angel

And the regulations of the Passover celebrations each to follow specify that there must be a lamb / all of it eaten / shared with other families / nothing wasted

But now Jews don’t eat lamb on Passover / it is a huge missing piece of the puzzle

THE ELEMENTS OF THE SEDER PLATE

The Unleavened Bread = three pieces set aside as special

The Salty Water = representing the tears / God hearing the cry of His people / bringing redemption and salvation

A Roasted Egg = not to be eaten, but symbolic both of the festival offerings brought along with the Passover lamb / like the shank bone, this is a grim reminder that the Temple was destroyed

Bitter Herbs = represents the bitterness of slavery

(1) Bitter Vegetables / typically parsley or celery / bitter taste

One explanation is that you eat the green part of the romaine first / Israel’s stay in Egypt began well under Joseph / but it turned bitter as a Pharaoh arose who didn’t know Joseph, and you eat the bitter end of the romaine as a reminder

(2) Horseradish / brings tears

Charoset = represents the mortar used in building the bricks as they built the cities of Egypt

The Shank Bone = representing the Passover Lamb / none of Jesus’ bones were broken

For the Messianic worshiper of Jesus, the Lamb is NOT missing! Jesus is that missing piece of the puzzle.

1 Cor 5:7 = Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us

There is no longer a priesthood = but Jesus is our high priest

There is no longer a Temple = But Jesus’ sacrificed body is the Temple

There is no altar of sacrifice = but Jesus was the Once for All Sacrifice for a time

There is no longer yearly lambs for Passover = but Jesus IS the Passover

The Jews no longer have a Passover Lamb = but those who’ve put their faith in Jesus have the Lamb forever!

FOUR CUPS ARE POURED

In the traditional Jewish Seder, there are FOUR CUPS / or, to say, four times when the cup is filled and drank. For our purposes, save enough for four drinks, but you can refill as needed.

The four cups come from Exodus 6:6–7
6       “Say, therefore, to the sons of Israel, ‘I am the LORD, and will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians,
This is gives us (1) The Cup of SANCTIFICATION
and I will deliver you from their bondage.
This gives us (2) The Cup of DELIVERANCE
I will also redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.
This gives us (3) The Cup of REDEMPTION (or "SALVATION")
Then I will take you for My people, and I will be your God; and you shall know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
This gives us (4) The Cup of PRAISE

RECLINING

In the Passover celebration to this day. Our Jewish friends will casually lean / propped up with pillows /

This is a reminder that they have been set free and are at ease / not standing or sitting at attention / but enjoying freedom

Passover should be about reclining / resting / being at ease / joyful

You’ll remember that at the Last Supper, Jesus’ disciples were down on the ground, with the triclinium table in front of them / and they were lounging / even LEANING on each other.

= We REST in Christ Jesus (Hebrews 4) We aren’t saved by our works, but by His work

THE EMPTY SEAT OF ELIJAH & CUP OF MIRIAM

Typically, an extra cup is poured in honor of Elijah / or even a place setting in honor of him

One Jewish Rabbi explains why this way—"The tradition is that Elijah the Prophet will be the one to announce the coming of Messiah. … The cup is called “Elijah’s Cup” to express our hope that our guest will be Elijah himself coming to inform us of Messiah’s coming and the rebuilding of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. …"

The Messianic celebration might see the extra cup as the cup of John the Baptist who came in the spirit and ministry of Elijah / preparing the way for Jesus

Some add a cup of Miriam on the table = The cup of Miriam is a new tradition / This was added to the Seder to make it more inclusive / remembering the women of the OT
A cup filled with water / as water was found in the wilderness right after her song in Exodus 15

The Ceremony

Light the Candles • The Mother (matriarch)

1 • First Cup

Luke 22 refers to this first cup…

Luke 22
14       When the hour had come, He reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him.
15       And He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;
16       for I say to you, I shall never again eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
17       And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He said, “Take this and share it among yourselves;
18       for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”

1 • Cup of Sanctification

= For Israel, it was giving them a new identity: from slaves to a Bride!
= Jesus came to transform us from slaves to sin to becoming His Bride / the Bride of Christ

In the traditional seder, you also remember that God has set apart this night as special / different than any other night

I won’t recite the prayer in Hebrew / I’d mess it up, and you wouldn’t understand it anyway / but in English…

Recite together: “Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the vine”

Hand Washing

Ceremonial washings in Judaism are a huge deal. It isn’t just about physical cleanliness, but spiritual purity. It reminds us of the priests who washed before approaching God.

Psalm 24
3       Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? And who may stand in His holy place?
4       He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood And has not sworn deceitfully.

This reminds us as well of Jesus our Pure and Holy High Priest. He washes us clean that we can approach God’s throne

Hebrews 10
19       Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus,
20       by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh,
21       and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
22       let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

SONG:
GIVE US CLEAN HANDS

"KARPAS" (green vegetable)

We know this as dipping the parsley / this is a reminder of the tears of the Israelites in captivity / the vegetable is a reminder of spring time and new life

We’ll dip the vegetable in the salty water
Recite the prayer
And then eat together

Recite together: Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the earth

"YACHATZ" (breaking the bread)

Deut 16:3 • “You shall not eat leavened bread with it; seven days you shall eat with it unleavened bread, the bread of affliction (for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste), so that you may remember all the days of your life the day when you came out of the land of Egypt.

The “bread of affliction” is hard bread without yeast / we use MATZAH BREAD = their bread had to be made quickly / no time to rise / no work of yeast

Three Breads = In the traditional seder, you begin with three unbroken pieces of bread / which we set aside at the beginning

The "Afikomen"
Hold up the Mazta / Take the middle piece / Hold it up / and Break it in half
Take the largest piece = Called the “Afikomen”

Which means “that which comes later” or “something joyful” / is hidden away somewhere / later, the kids get to try to find it / to trade it in for a prize

Wrap it up & hide it

Interestingly, there is no real meaning behind this in the Seder. It is just a peculiar ritual that has shown up over time.

Some Jews teach that the 3 matzas represent the Priests, Levites, the People / but, why is the middle one broken and hidden? This seems like a stretch / trying to find meaning in it

= But for the follower of Messiah Jesus / Moshiach Yeshua… This is a PERFECT picture!

Jesus is the “middle bread” / the second person of the Godhead

Our MATZAH has = holes, stripes, bruising
This is a vivid picture and reminder of Jesus’ crucifixion
He was broken for us upon the Cross

In the Afikomen we see...
We see His burial / He was wrapped up and buried / hidden away
We see His resurrection / brought forth again
In His second coming / As He is revealed again in the future (“that which comes later”)
Like the afikomen, those who find Jesus find joy!

"MAGGID" (telling the story)

POUR THE SECOND CUP, but don’t drink it yet

2. Cup of Deliverance • “I will rescue you from their bondage.”

This cup is consumed after recounting the plagues and signifies physical freedom from slavery in Egypt. It acknowledges God’s power in delivering the Israelites.

It is mandated in the law of Moses to retell of God’s deliverance to the children

Exodus 12
25       “When you enter the land which the LORD will give you, as He has promised, you shall observe this rite.
26       “And when your children say to you, ‘What does this rite mean to you?’
27       you shall say, ‘It is a Passover sacrifice to the LORD who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt when He smote the Egyptians, but spared our homes.’ ” And the people bowed low and worshiped.

We’ll summarize Exodus chapters 1–12

Short on time / can’t do a full recitation

Why is this night different than all other night? = "Tonight is special because we remember the power of God’s redemption."

We will now retell the story of the Exodus (Exodus 12:24-28).

God’s people, the Israelites, had been in Egypt for 400 years
Joseph, Jacob’s beloved son, was sold in to slavery by his brothers
In slavery, Joseph saves Egypt from famine
Jacob’s sons come for grain
Joseph brings his family to Egypt
They prosper in Egypt

Until a Pharaoh arises who doesn’t know Joseph
The Pharoah fears Israel, so he enslaves them
The family of Israel suffer under bondage
Cruel task masters set over them
Building the great cities of the Pharaoh

They cry out to God—and He answers
He raises up Moses, who tells Pharaoh to release God’s people
Pharaoh refuses—so God sends 10 plagues against Egypt
These plagues defeat Pharaoh, his magicians, and the false gods of Egypt

For each of the ten plagues, drip one drop of juice from the cup onto the bread
We don’t rejoice in the Egyptian’s sufferings of the plagues, and we reduce the joy in our cups with each drop

Blood
Frogs
Lice
Wild Animals
Disease on livestock
Boils
Hail
Locusts
Darkness
Death of the Firstborn

= Applying the drops of wine to the bread is such a vivid picture of Jesus / who became the curse for us / His body was broken and beaten for us / He hung on the cross, seen as cursed by God / bearing our sin / becoming sin for us / 10 drops: the fulness of the plagues / this is how God gave us ultimate freedom / in the sacrifice of Jesus

Before the final plague, the death of the firstborn, God needed to protect His people in Egypt
The death angel would pass over their homes and not take their firstborn if they would obey God in this way
They were to sacrifice a lamb and put its blood on their door posts
And then they were to eat the cooked meat of the lamb

That night, the death angel took the firstborn of Egypt, but he passed over any home with blood on its doorposts!
It was through the blood of the lamb that the Israelites were set free from a life of slavery and the plague of death

God then brought His people safely through the Red Sea and defeated Pharaoh’s army there

God gave His people a new life with Himself in the wilderness
He gave them His name
His law
His presence
His fire by day and cloud by night
He gave them manna / miracle bread from heaven
He gave them water from rocks
He gave them sandals that never wore out

1 Cor 5:7 • Jesus is our Passover!

But this first Exodus was not the last!
We have a new Exodus and a Better Moses in Jesus, Yeshua

We were enslaved to sin and death, but Jesus set us free
Moses gave the Law, Jesus gave the new covenant
Jesus performed miracles that brought life and joy, not plagues that brought suffering and death

Jesus is also our NEW Passover
As He suffered and died on the Cross, His blood was shed for us
And by faith, His blood is applied to our lives
And when God look at our lives, He sees no sin to judge us for
God only sees the blood of Jesus, which covers our sin
And cries out for our forgiveness, redemption, and salvation

After Jesus died on the cross for us, He was buried in a tomb
He was hidden away for three days
But on the third day an amazing thing happened!

Jesus’ grave broke open, and He walked out
He revealed Himself to His followers
He stayed with them for 40 days
Proving beyond any doubt He was alive
And had conquered death

So, for the Christian, Jesus is OUR Passover
And He is our Bread of Life

And just as Passover is the Festival of Freedom, in Yeshua we have found ULTIMATE freedom—from sin, death, and the dark powers of this evil age we live in

THE FOUR QUESTIONS

(A tradition in the Jewish seder is to "quiz" the young children to make sure they understand some of the symbolism of the dinner...)

1. On all other nights we eat either bread or matzah; on this night, why only matzah?
 
Matzah commemorates the fact that the bread did not have enough time to rise when the Israelites hastily left Egypt.
 
2. On all other nights we eat herbs or vegetables of any kind; on this night why bitter herbs?
 
The bitter herbs remind us of the bitterness of slavery in Egypt.
 
3. On all other nights we do not dip even once; on this night why do we dip twice?
 
The salt water into which we dip the parsley represents the tears the Israelites cried while in Egypt. 
 
Similarly, the charoset into which the bitter herbs are dipped reminds us of the mortar used with the bricks in Egypt. 
 
Dipping food is considered a luxury. It is a sign of freedom, as opposed to the poor and enslaved who eat “dry” and un-dipped foods.
 
4. On all other nights we eat our meals in any manner; on this night why do we sit around the table together in a reclining position?
 
We commemorate our freedom by reclining on cushions like royalty.

DAYENU! • a hymn of praise

Dayenu can be a song or a poetic recitation. It shares a message of God’s ABUNDANT GRACE / that He didn’t have to do all that He did. One act of mercy would have been enough, but He gave us so much more.

[One example...]

If He had split the Sea for us and had not taken us through it on dry land; Dayenu [“it would have been enough for us”].

If He had taken us through it on dry land and had not pushed down our enemies in [the Sea]; Dayenu

If He had pushed down our enemies in [the Sea] and had not supplied our needs in the wilderness for forty years; Dayenu

If He had supplied our needs in the wilderness for forty years and had not fed us the manna; Dayenu

If He had fed us the manna and had not given us the Shabbat; Dayenu

If He had given us the Shabbat and had not brought us close to Mount Sinai; Dayenu

If He had brought us close to Mount Sinai and had not given us the Torah; Dayenu

If He had given us the Torah and had not brought us into the land of Israel; Dayenu

If He had brought us into the land of Israel and had not built us the Temple;  Dayenu

Most families now sing a fun, upbeat version of Dayenu for the kids. It is a big of a tongue twister—a silly song. If you look up Dayneu on YouTube, this is what you’ll find.

I wrote my own version of a Dayenu...

SONG:
MORE THAN ENOUGH (Dayenu)

PREPARING FOR THE MAIN MEAL

{We now prepare for the main dinner with a few rituals…]

Raise the 2nd Cup

Recite together: Blessed are you, Lord our God, king of the universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.

Drink

RACHTZAH • Hand Washing

PRAYER • Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments.

MOTZI • Blessing before matzah

PRAYER • Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who brings bread from out of the earth.

Raise matzah – don’t eat yet..,

MARROR • Bitter Herbs

Numbers 9:11 • ‘In the second month on the fourteenth day at twilight, they shall observe it; they shall eat it [the Passover lamb] with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

Leader: "Blessed are you, Lord our God, who has commanded us to eat the bitter herbs."

All: Amen, in the name of Yeshua!

Place horse radish on the matzah and eat. Or—eat the romaine leaves, green to white. End with the bitter which is a reminder of their stay in Egypt, which began with Joseph but ended with Pharaoh.

Note: It is an honorable pursuit to bring a tear to your eye as a result of the bitter herbs. Generous helpings help.

This remembers Jesus’ words—
Matthew 26:38 • Then He said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me.”

KORECH • Matzah Sandwich

It was customary to dip the romaine into the charoset / reminding that God turned their bitterness into blessing and joy

One rabbi, named Hillel taught that all the elements of the Passover should be taken together / so they make a sandwich of the matzah, the vegetables, the bitter herbs, and the charoset.

This is a reminder of the sweetness and fulness of salvation.
From this point on, enjoy the charoset, the vegetables, and even the horseradish and bitter herbs.

"SHULCHAN ORECH" • Eating the Passover Meal

“Traditional Passover Seder meals include matzah ball soup, beef brisket, and chicken. Remember, no food should contain leavening in this entire meal.”

Exodus 12:8 • ‘They shall eat the flesh that same night, roasted with fire, and they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

"TZAFUN" • the Third Cup and the Hidden Matzah

The children now search for the hidden Afikomen. When they find it, they hold it for ransom / exchanging it for the prize (chocolate!)

The Third Cup & Matzah!

Take the piece of matzah you wrapped in the napkin at the beginning of the Seder and unwrap it. Break off a piece for every believer at the table.

Everyone pours the third cup and holds the piece of matzah

Isaiah 53:5 • But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed.

It was most likely this piece of matzah, the afikomen, that Yeshua gave to His disciples

It was here at the Passover that Yeshua reveals Himself as the ultimate Passover sacrifice. The lamb that was not only slain but consumed in order to give life (Exodus 12:8). The blood remains a sign of overpowering death and entering into new life.

1 Cor. 11:23-26 •
23       For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread;
24       and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
25       In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
26       For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.

EAT THE LORD'S "BREAD" OF HIS NEW COVENANT...

THIRD CUP • Cup of Redemption • The cup Jesus shared with the disciples as the New Covenant in His blood was the THIRD CUP… 

3. Cup of Redemption" • I will redeem you with an outstretched arm." 
Drunk after the meal, this cup symbolizes the redemption of the Israelites. 

Psalm 116:13 • I shall lift up the cup of salvation [Heb: “Ye’Shua”] 
And call upon the name of the LORD. 

Mark 14:24 • 
23       And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. 
24       And He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. 

DRINK THE LORD'S CUP OF HIS NEW COVENANT

Revelation 5:12 • saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.” 

"HALLEL" • Psalms of Praise

SONGS:
In Christ Alone
Jesus Messiah

FOURTH CUP • the Cup of Praise

Pour the final cup

As we close, we have a final cup to share

4. Cup of Praise"I will take you as My people." • This final cup is consumed at the end of the Seder, celebrating the establishment of Israel as a nation and God's everlasting covenant with His people.

Hosea 2
19       “I will betroth you to Me forever; Yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and in justice, In lovingkindness and in compassion,
20       And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness. Then you will know the LORD.
21       “It will come about in that day that I will respond,” declares the LORD. “I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth,
22       And the earth will respond to the grain, to the new wine and to the oil, And they will respond to Jezreel.
23       “I will sow her for Myself in the land. I will also have compassion on her who had not obtained compassion, And I will say to those who were not My people, ‘You are My people!’ And they will say, ‘You are my God!’ ”

Tonight, which is different than any other night, we have remembered the salvation of our God. We have broken the bread and with four cups we remember the fulfillment of God’s promises:
1. He has brought us out from under the oppression of death.
2. He has delivered us from slavery to sin.
3. He has redeemed us with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgement.
4. He has taken us to be His own.

FORMAL CLOSING: "Next Year in Jerusalem!"

As believers in Yeshua, we should say, “Next year in the New Jerusalem!”

DRINK THE FOURTH CUP

SONG:
Shout Hosanna
