Jesus’ Last Supper was actually a Jewish Passover.
Elliot D. Marks of Jews for Jesus will re-create the traditional Passover service and explain how it foreshadowed Jesus’ death and resurrection in a presentation called “Christ in the Passover” at Belleville First United Methodist Church at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 26.
Marks will set a table with items traditionally used at the Passover meal and detail their spiritual significance. He will also explain the connection between the events of the first Passover in Egypt and the redemption that Jesus accomplished, as well as the deep bond between the ancient Passover feast and the Christian communion celebration today.
Jews for Jesus has presented “Christ in the Passover” at over 38,000 churches. It has been enthusiastically received by Christians who appreciate learning more about the Jewish backgrounds of their faith.
Marks said he will be happy to answer questions after the presentation. Call 734-697-9288 or 734-250-0485 for more information. There is no admission charge, but a free will offering will be taken.
