Episode 125 - Passover and Easter

Passover (Pesach) begins at sundown on Wednesday, April 1, and ends at nightfall on Thursday, April 9, while Easter is celebrated on Sunday, April 5th Passover:  'The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt. 'Exodus 12:13 On this day, the Jewish people read Song of Solomon, a book about the deep love of the groom, Jesus and His bride, us. Oh how the Lord loves each and everyone of you. There is nothing He wouldn't do to be with you. 'Listen! I hear my lover’s voice. I know it’s him coming to me— leaping with joy over mountains, skipping in love over the hills that separate us , to come to me.' Song of Songs 2:8 Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, the former Chief Rabbi of Britain, summed it up this way: "The world we build tomorrow is born in the stories we tell our children today." On Passover, we celebrate freedom. We recount our own journey from bitter slavery to sweet freedom, and we cherish this God-given right. God says to each of us, "You want a kind and free world? Teach your children first!" Rabbi Sacks put it this way, "Politics moves the pieces. Education changes the game. Easter  ”Very early Sunday morning, before sunrise, Mary Magdalene made her way to the tomb. And when she arrived she discovered that the stone that sealed the entrance to the tomb was moved away! So she went running as fast as she could to go tell Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved. She told them, “They’ve taken the Lord’s body from the tomb, and we don’t know where he is!”“ ‭‭John‬ ‭20‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭TPT‬‬ Day 1 on the Via Delarosa: The Via Dolorosa (Latin for 'Sorrowful Way',often translated 'Way of Suffering'; Arabic: طريق الآلام; Hebrew: ויה דולורוזה) is a processional route in the Old City of Jerusalem. It represents the path that Jesus took, forced by the Roman soldiers, on the way to his crucifixion. (The stations of the cross) Jesus is condemned to death Jesus carries his cross Jesus falls the first time Jesus meets his mother Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus carry the cross Veronica wipes the face of Jesus Jesus falls the second time Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem Jesus falls the third time Jesus' clothes are taken away Crucifixion: Jesus is nailed to the cross Jesus dies on the cross Jesus is taken down from the cross (Deposition or Lamentation) Jesus is laid in the tomb. Good Friday Easter Sunday  FORGIVENESS… Easter celebrates Jesus’ divinity and the purpose of His coming to the earth. The Easter holiday commemorates Jesus’ resurrection from the dead and His promise of eternal life to all who believe in Him.   The account of Jesus’ resurrection can be found in all four of the Gospels — Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each book (Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, and John 20) tells a slightly different account of the story from the authors’ differing perspectives. What’s consistent across all books is that Jesus was previously in the tomb where He was buried after his crucifixion and that His body was mysteriously gone after three days.   Christians believe that Jesus Christ came to earth, died for the sins of humanity, and defeated the powers of death through His resurrection. Easter is the yearly celebration of this miracle and the hope for believers of their life in Christ, which includes the forgiveness of all their sins and the promise of their eternal life. __________________ For more information about the hosts, please visit their websites and follow them on social media: Dr. Glenda Shepard - Doctor of Nursing Practice/Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner/Certified Nutrition Coach/Certified Personal Trainer/Certified Intrinsic Coach https://www.triumphantwomancoaching.com/ FB - https://www.facebook.com/glenda.shepard1   Robin McCoy - Certified McIntyre Seal Team Six Coach and John Maxwell Team Trainer/Speaker/Coach https://www.thewellnessfactor.coach/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/RobinRMcCoy FB - https://www.facebook.com/robin.mccoy1   Produced by KB Podcasts Music from https://app.soundstripe.com/
