1. Steve noted that there is a wealth of symbolism in the Passover Seder and its relation to our practice of Communion. Was there anything that stood out or was new information to you? 2. Jesus broke with the Passover Seder tradition by getting up after the meal and washing the disciples' feet. Why did Jesus do this? Have there been situations when you felt called ‘to be last’ or be willingly humbled? Please share. 3. The four cups of the Seder are associated with four verbs that describe what God did in saving the Jews from Egyptian captivity: God brought them out of Egypt, He delivered them from the death of their first-born sons, He redeemed them from slavery and took them to be His people. Does one of these ‘verbs’ resonate with you? Why? 4. Steve noted that at The Last Supper Judas was most likely seated in the place of honor. Why would Jesus do this? 5. The Passover is the retelling of God delivering the Jews from slavery in Egypt. As Christians what stories do we like to retell? Among your family and friends, what stories do you tell on special occasions to commemorate important events?
