Day 7 Passover

This is a late posting:

Let us start with a short prayer:
“YHvaH I pray, if I have found grace in your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know you and I may find grace in your sight.”

Introduction: So begins day 7 tonight at sunset. We are quickly approaching the feast. Abraham, Moses/ the to be Hebrews, and Messiah are well in route to the Elohim plan.

I.Day 7 Genesis 22:7

7And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?

Please Read These Chapters for yourself:
Gen 22
Exodus 12
Luke 18-19:26


The Story Line (tell these to the kids): Today (began last sundown) marks the seventh day for God's people. There are three connected stories in history for this date. The first storyline is going to be Abraham's, the second Moses', and the third Jesus'.

Abraham (Gen. 22): Some time long ago, most likely on this day, Abraham has already approached the location of Mount Moriah with his son Isaac (actually scripture does say the 3rd day) Now they leave the servants and Abraham proclaims "we will return". Notice the "we". Lets make Abraham and his understanding a little more clear. He is also recorded as saying "God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering" Verse 8 Do you believe he is talking about Isaac? I don't. The intention was never for Abraham to offer his son, nor was it solely to "test" Abraham. This story serves another purpose, one that will come thousands of years later.

Moses (Exodus 12): By now you should be observing the moon change rapidly. Its getting larger every night. The full moon will occur at just the right climax in our feast. Today (or close to today) Moses gives the directions that follow in ch. 12. We will refer back to these directions. "this is a day you are to commemorate;for the generations to come"- verse 14


Jesus: (Luke 18- 19:26) Yeshua (Jesus' Hebrew name) has now left for Jerusalem and is well on his way. Look at all the stories that come from this journey. The parables over this time are foundational, select one to read to your children explaining when this is occurring, then cross reference with the other Gospels. Look for other stories that take place in this time. When you read about Jericho understand we are getting close to Jerusalem or day 10 (maybe you have a map in your bible of this journey).


Closings: I would like to hear stories of how this is going in your families. Are you teaching your children? Are you learning yourself? Are you sold out? Are you wimping out? Is it just too inconvenient? Are their questions? Do you challenge/disagree with something? Additional scripture reading that should be included.
