Celebrating Passover

As we prepared our hearts for Easter, and because we study the Old Testament, it was such a joy to share a Passover Meal with each class. We learned the meaning behind each item of food on our plate, remembering God's faithfulness to the Israelites, rescuing them from slavery by providing the sacrifice of a lamb, it's blood to mark the passover. 

We also celebrating God's faithfulness to us, providing Jesus, whose blood was shed for us that our sins would be forgiven. As John the Baptist looked and saw Jesus, he spoke these words, 

"Behold the Lamb of God, who has come to take away the sins of the world." John 1:29

Our students worked (and had fun) together as News Anchor and Reporter to bring the latest from Genesis 14.

⁸ Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboyim and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) marched out and drew up their battle lines in the Valley of Siddim ⁹ against Kedorlaome king of Elam, Tidal king of Goyim, Amraphel king of Shinar and Arioch king of Ellasar—four kings against five. ¹⁰ Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits, and when the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some of the men fell into them and the rest fled to the hills. ¹¹ The four kings seized all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food; then they went away. ¹² They also carried off Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom.
¹³ A man who had escaped came and reported this to Abram the Hebrew. Now Abram was living near the great trees of Mamrethe Amorite, a brother of Eshkol and Aner, all of whom were allied with Abram. ¹⁴ When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he called out the 318 trained men born in his household and went in pursuit as far as Dan. ¹⁵ During the night Abram divided his men to attack them and he routed them, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus. ¹⁶ He recovered all the goods and brought back his relative Lot and his possessions, together with the women and the other people.

¹⁷ After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).
