MESSIAH IN THE PASSOVER will be conducted by Randall & Luda Ford, of Chosen People Ministries, an over one hundred-year-old mission that was founded in 1894 by Leopold Cohn, a Hungarian rabbi who came to believe that Jesus is the Messiah promised by the Hebrew Scriptures.  From humble beginnings in Brooklyn, New York, Chosen People Ministries has grown into a world wide Ministry to “the Jew first and to the Gentile.”

MESSIAH IN THE PASSOVER begins with the traditional Passover Seder table-complete with all the articles of this important Jewish celebration.  The speaker will explain the symbolic meanings of the various items of the Passover feast and highlight their relationship to the Last Supper that Messiah celebrated with the disciples, giving special emphasis on the redemptive significance of the crucifixion.

MESSIAH IN THE PASSOVER gives the Christian community insight into Jewish traditions so that the Jewish roots of Christianity can be better understood.  This program also helps the Jewish and Christian communities understand their common heritage.

This meeting is open to the public, and First Baptist Church would like to invite the Christian as well as the Jewish community to attend.  The church is located at 515 Third Street, SW.  For information, please call 224-3300.  A love offering will received.
