As for me and my house we will celebrate Passover.

Here we are.  Another major "christian" holiday.  Another time for me to get frustrated and want to scream from the hills "Do you even know what Easter is?".  However, I am slowly being reminded by God to not have a spirit of judgment.  This is hard....REALLY hard.  I have the nature that I want to share with people what I believe to be true.  Even if doing so hardens them to me.  I am learning though, this is not the best approach.  So, as my family enjoys/celebrates Passover, I must resist the urge to comment on every "Resurrection Sunday" face book post with the phrase "You must be doing fuzzy math".  I must put my mind and heart into what me and my house are celebrating.  Making sure that we are honoring Yahweh and Yeshua the best we can.  Passover for us is about two things, remembering how Yahweh delivered Israel, and how Yeshua delivers us!  And yes, we do discuss his death and then his victory over the grave!

Last night we had our Seder.  We started the day by preparing the food and our home.  Then we went through the kitchen and made sure there was no leavening products.  I explain to our girls that just like we search our kitchen for leaven, we need to search our hearts and lives for sin, and remove it.  I even intentionally left a few yeast packets for the girls to find.  Showing that no matter how good we think we have looked, there are always places that we can do a better job in removing the sin in our lives.  The Seder was a very awesome experience for me.  Widely because it was led by Sean.  I love seeing him take a leadership role in the spiritual raising of our family.  My favorite part was watching Stuart wash his hands and Sean drying them.  It was a peaceful dinner, with lots of questions and answers.  The whole night was very peaceful.

I will leave with this trying to not sound judgmental:

Why do you celebrate Easter?
How did Easter start?
Did Yeshua or Yahweh command we celebrate Easter?
How did the name "Easter" come about?
What do eggs, baskets, and gifts have anything to do with the death and resurrection of Yeshua?

If you celebrate, do so because YOU have done your research, not because someone has told you this is what "christians" do, or because this is what you have done your whole life.

Whether you celebrate Passover or Easter, it doesn't change the fact that Yeshua HAS risen!  HALLELUJAH!
