Monday,
November 11 - Day 2 - Breakfast, while eating an (actually and completely)
amazing breakfast of a piece of bread, an egg, and some slices of avocado piled
in the form of a little open-faced sandwich it suddenly occurred to me that the
list of ingredients we are choosing is incredibly similar to the list of
ingredients in the Passover meal (compare to http://chabad.org
= > 'seder'). The one exception I
think are the bitter herbs…wait…there is my tea).
This thought was very invigorating and gave
me a great jolt of joy as I realized we are communally participating in this
fast while rolling straight into the holiday season! December first is the first day of Advent and
the season when we celebrate the coming of the Paschal (Passover) Lamb of God
the fulfillment of what Israel both commemorated (leaving Egypt) and
anticipated (waiting for Messiah) every year at the Passover. That person is Jesus! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the
world! The thought that He is so loving
us and so wanting us to know Him that without realizing it we are walking into
God's reality for a season BY eating His menu is really life-giving at many levels! This is going to be happy early Passover
week. Now the holidays can really begin
= ).
