Grace for your spirit October 30, 2013

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

The night Israel went free from Egyptian bondage, they put the blood of the lamb on their doorposts so the death angel would pass over. Their passover feast was the sacrificed lamb, bread with no leaven, and bitter herbs.  The lamb of sacrifice, no leaven symbolic of the sin out of their houses, and bitter herbs, symbolic of bitterness of bondage.  Jesus instituted the Lord's supper with only the unleavened bread and fruit of the vine.  Why no lamb or bitter herbs?  Jesus is our lamb, and all our bitterness is taken away by His sacrifice.  Enjoy feasting with Him with the symbolism of His body and His blood.  See you at supper.
