To a deeper understanding of The Lord's Supper
Daniel McIlhiney
Recently, two great festivals were marked: Easter and Pesach, Passover. Growing up, Passover was the central event around which my year revolved.
It didn’t just tell the story of how God miraculously delivered my ancestors from slavery; it invited me into that story through a sensory meal called a Seder (literally “order”).
Stop asking Jewish believers when they 'converted'
Two days before writing this from sunny North Carolina, a well-meaning friend asked me, “so, when did you convert?” This question still makes me bristle. Perhaps it shouldn’t.
I answer him, of course, and took it as the well meaning question that it was intended to be, but that word “convert” is not a word that I, or any other Jewish believers in Jesus that I know, feel comfortable with.
