The Feast of Liberation

Session 1 of Faith Life Weekend 2015The Jewish Passover and Christian Communion are both feasts of liberation. The Jewish Passover and Christian Communion are both meals of memory. At both meals—Passover and Communion—a story is told. Exodus and Good Friday. We are the stories we tell. We are what we remember. Our feasts shape our identity. To be Jewish is to remember the Exodus. To be Christian is to remember Good Friday. Jesus establishes his liberating kingdom in the heart of domination systems and undoes them from the inside out.
