Overview of Messianic Passover Haggadah

Overview of Messianic Passover Haggadah

The following Haggadah can be used in a family setting at home or within a larger group. Unlike other Seder Haggadahs, it guides the participants through the commandments of the first Passover during the Exodus and also Yeshua's last Passover before his crucifixion, incorporating the prophetic meaning of the elements. With the exception of very few elements, it adheres to the Bibilical instructions, and therefore, does not include some of the more common traditions that have been adapted over the years for traditional Seders. Honoring its original description as a family meal at home, this Haggadah is designed so that anyone in the family or group can participate in the reading and facilitating of the various sections. It can also be used by one individual and be a special time of renewing covenant with Yeshua. Supplies needed (per person):

2 wafers of unleavened bread 4 small cups of juice or wine 1 piece of lamb 2-3 parsley sprigs 1 spoonful of horseradish 1 handy-wipe

Opening Prayer

Introduction . Passover was originally held in homes with family and probably neighbors. . We're gathered tonight to remember. . In the original instructions we are commanded to remember the Exodus. And in Yeshua's Passover we are commanded to remember him.

. So we're going to read the instructions and learn about the significance of each one. . And we're going to remember that first Passover and what Yehovah did for us in Egypt. . And we're going to remember what Yeshua did for us.

We'll start with the original instructions in Exodus 12:3-14:

3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying: `On the tenth of this month every man shall take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household. 4 And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the persons; according to each man's need you shall make your

2

count for the lamb. 5 Your lamb shall be without[a] blemish, a male [b]of the first year. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats. 6 Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight. 7 And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it. 8 Then they shall eat the flesh on that night; roasted in fire, with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. 9 Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire--its head with its legs and its entrails. 10 You shall let none of it remain until morning, and what remains of it until morning you shall burn with fire. 11 And thus you shall eat it: [c]with a belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. So you shall eat it in haste. It is the LORD's Passover. 12 `For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. 13 Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. 14 `So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance.

. These are the original instructions for the very first Passover in Egypt. . The observance changed over the years . Luke 22 depicts Yeshua observing it.

Luke 22:7-20:

7 Then came the Day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover [lamb] must be [a]killed. 8 And Yeshua sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat." 9 So they said to Him, "Where do You want us to prepare?" 10 And He said to them, "Behold, when you have entered the city, a man will meet you

carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house which he enters. 11 Then you shall say to the master of the house, `The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?" ' 12 Then he will show you a large, furnished upper room; there make ready." 13 So they went and found it just as He had said to them, and they prepared the Passover. 14 When the hour had come, He sat down, and the [b]twelve apostles with Him. 15 Then He said to them, "With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; 16 for I say to you, I will no longer eat of it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God." 17 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, "Take this and divide it among yourselves; 18 for I say to you, [c]I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes." 19 And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

3

20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.

And in 1 Cor. 11:23-26 we read:

The Lord Yeshua on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, [a]"Take, eat; this is My body which is [b]broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me." 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.

Tonight is going to be a combination of both of these instructions and a remembrance of both the Exodus and Yeshua.

Hand washing

Open the handy-wipe at your place.

Bah-ruch ah-ta Adonai, Eh-lo-hay-nu meh-lech ha-o-lam, asher kid-sha-nu be-mitz-vo-tayv ve-tzi-va-nu al neh-teel-at yah-da-yeem.

Blessed are You, Adonai, King of the Universe, who has sanctified us by your commandments and has commanded us concerning the washing of hands.

. As we wash our hands, let it bring to mind your own baptism. . Let's also remember the night of the Passover when Yeshua washed his disciples' feet saying, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with me." . Remember the tabernacle, where the priests wash their hands in the brass laver before they enter the Holy Place. . We are entering into a holy place tonight, a holy convocation, an appointed day, and the holy Passover week.

Examination & Repentance

In 1 Cor. 11, Yeshua teaches us the power of this Seder meal and the proper spirit we should bring to it.

Let's read again from 1 Cor. 11:

The Lord Yeshua on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, [a]"Take, eat; this is My body which is [b]broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me." 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in

4

remembrance of Me." 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes.

Then, Paul says this:

27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and [c]blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For he who eats and drinks in [d] an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the [e]Lord's body. 30 For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many [f]sleep. 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.

Just as the Passover lamb was examined to make sure it was without defect before it was offered, we also must examine ourselves before partaking in this meal. We will see as we continue tonight that it is a recommitment to our covenant with Yehovah.

So the first thing we want to do is examine ourselves and repent, so that we do not eat or drink this meal in an unworthy manner.

Let's take a moment to be quiet before the Lord, and then we'll pray a prayer of repentance.

(Pause for 20 seconds, then pray.)

The First Cup ? Sanctification

There are four cups of wine or grape juice in a traditional Seder. They represent the four vows that Yehovah made to us when he promised to bring us out of bondage. They are found in Exodus 6:6-7. As I read this, you will hear four statements beginning with "I Will":

6 Therefore say to the children of Israel: `I am the LORD; I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an [a] outstretched arm and with great judgments. 7 I will take you as My people, and will be your God. Then you shall know that I am the LORD your God who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

So, we see here the four "I wills" are about: ? Sanctification - I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians ? Deliverance - I will rescue you from their bondage ? Redemption - I will redeem you with an [a] outstretched arm and with great judgments ? and Acceptance - I will take you as My people, and will be your God
