Josh M asked this question should Christians follow the jewish tradition of Passover?\\xa0

And then I went down a rabbit hole - I found my way out.

Also this episode was a hard one for me to produce because of my own personal struggles.\\xa0 I have a lot going on in my head.\\xa0 My spirit is vexed like it says in Psalm 6.\\xa0 I am going through a tough time personally.\\xa0 You are probably tired of hearing it. So I won\\u2019t repeat my story or add to it this week. \\xa0

\\xa0

Passover is a major Jewish holiday that celebrates the Biblical story of the Israelites escape from slavery in Egypt, which occurs on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Nisan, the first month of Aviv, or spring.\\xa0

Let us pray.

Psalm 6

\\xa0O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2\\xa0Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

3\\xa0My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?

4\\xa0Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies\' sake.

5\\xa0For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

6\\xa0I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

7\\xa0Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

8\\xa0Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.

9\\xa0The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.

10\\xa0Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

Genesis 3:1

In this first message to mankind, Satan sows seeds of doubt as to whether God can be trusted. Satan\'s very first words were, "Has God indeed said. . . ?" Spoken or not, this sentiment that God is untrustworthy, and that His Word is suspect, has been a regular feature in mankind\'s relationship with God ever since. \\xa0

1 Timothy 6:20 -O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

1 Timothy 6:3-20

3 if anyone advocates a different doctrine and does not [d]agree with sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine conforming to godliness, 4\\xa0he is conceited and understands nothing; but he [e]has a sick craving for controversial questions and disputes about words, from which come envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions, 5\\xa0and constant friction between people of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who suppose that [f]godliness is a means of gain. 6\\xa0But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment. 7\\xa0For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it, either. 8\\xa0If we have food and [g]covering, with these we shall be content. 9\\xa0But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap, and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10\\xa0For the love of money is a root of all [h]sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many [i]griefs.

11\\xa0But flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, [j]perseverance, and gentleness. 12\\xa0Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and for which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13\\xa0I direct you in the presence of God, who [k]gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate, 14\\xa0that you keep the commandment without [l]fault or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15\\xa0which He will [m]bring about at the proper time\\u2014He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of [n]kings and Lord of [o]lords, 16\\xa0who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom [p]no one has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.

17\\xa0Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy. 18\\xa0Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good [q]works, to be generous and ready to share, 19\\xa0storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.

20\\xa0Timothy, protect what has been entrusted to you, avoiding worldly, empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called \\u201cknowledge\\u201d\\u2014 21\\xa0which some have professed and thereby have gone astray [r]from the faith.

Grace be with you
