"I am the one," says Messiah, "I am the one who destroyed death and triumphed over the enemy and trod down Hades and bound the strong one and carried off humanity to the heights of heaven.""Come then, all you families of humanity, and get forgiveness of sins. For I am your forgiveness. I am the pascha of your salvation. I am the lamb slain for you;"I am your ransom, I am your life, I am your light, I am your salvation, I am your resurrection, I am your king."
The third cup, the Cup of Redemption, is poured with these words at our Passover seder. This cup symbolizes Christ's atoning sacrifice for us, the blood of the Passover lamb. Obviously we celebrate Passover in light of the incarnation of Jesus Christ. These powerful words struck me this time. Christ is the one. He is everything. Through him, and him alone, we live. What an amazing and profound thought!
Passover began tonight at sundown. My family has helped coordinate a Passover celebration with another family for almost ten years. It was especially meaningful this year because I was able to share it with one of my friends I have met at ACU. She is such a blessing to me and it was wonderful to celebrate with her tonight.

aww Rebekah, you made me cry. I felt so blessed to be there last night. It was such a neat experience and your family is incredible. That is a memory I will never forget.
(The food and dancing were pretty great too!)
Lots of love!
