Summary
It's kind of like when someone says, well, if it's all God's grace and we don't do anything, does that mean that I can do whatever it is I want to do? The Passover meal was a traditional meal, but not only was it a traditional meal for the Jewish people, it was a meal that had been commanded by God or it was a festival that was commanded by God in which the Jewish people over a week would celebrate and would recognize when God had brought the Jewish people out of slavery in Egypt into freedom, into the land of freedom, the land flowing with milk and honey. The Seder meal, it is on the first and or second nights of the Passover week where the Jewish people would come together, and it was a time of teaching, it was a teaching meal where they would go through a series of sequences and in particular orders, including a variety of cups and very specific foods, and it was to teach the children and to retake themselves all that God had done for them when they were in slavery in Egypt. We've studied how the Holy Spirit gathers us together as a people, gathers us together as living word, Lutheran church, part of a larger expression, obviously, of the church, of the Lord Jesus Christ that extends around the world. sanctification, that work of the Holy Spirit whereby He brings us to faith and leads us to live the godly life and part of the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit is to bring us daily to repentance, to bring us daily to repentance whereby by the grace of God the old Adam and the death of it by God born repentance and being raised with the Word of the gospel of forgiveness and new life. The Lord Jesus Christ, God our Father, it says, Paul writes that through grace, we were given eternal comfort, good hope that our hearts should be comforted and strengthened in work and word by Christ.
