CHRIST IN THE PASSOVER
Jesus’ Last Supper was actually a Jewish Passover. Ofer Levy of Jews for Jesus will re-create the traditional
Passover service and explain how it foreshadowed Jesus’ death and resurrection in a presentation called “Christ
in the Passover” at First Baptist Church on Sunday, March 18th at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM.
Ofer Levy will set a table with items traditionally used at the Passover meal and detail their spiritual
significance. He will also explain the connection between the events of the first Passover in Egypt and the
redemption that Jesus accomplished, as well as the deep bond between the ancient Passover feast and the
Christian communion celebration today.
Jews for Jesus has presented “Christ in the Passover” at over 38,000 churches. It has been enthusiastically
received by Christians who appreciate learning more about the Jewish backgrounds of their faith. Moishe
Rosen, who founded Jews for Jesus in 1973, has also co-written the book, Christ in the Passover, with his wife,
Ceil. This seminal work includes a look at Passover in ancient times and how it is practiced today. It will be
available after the presentation. Also available will be a DVD of the Christ in the Passover presentation with
David Brickner, the executive director of Jews for Jesus, officiating.
Brickner, a fifth-generation Jewish believer in Jesus, succeeded Rosen as Executive Director in 1996. Brickner
has kept Jews for Jesus on the cutting edge as the ministry has expanded and established branches in eleven
countries, including the United States, Brazil, Israel, Russia, France, and South Africa. “We exist to make the
Messiahship of Jesus an unavoidable issue to our Jewish people worldwide,” Brickner states. “There are still a
few that haven’t heard of us!”
