Synopsis

Broken For You: A Christian Haggadah For Passover is a step-by-step guide to the Passover Seder. Passover was the most anticipated festival at the time of Jesus. It celebrated the story of the Israelites and their exodus from Egypt, God's victory over Pharaoh, and the defeat of slavery and oppression. For Christians, Passover has an even more significant meaning. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 5:7 that Jesus is our Passover lamb that has been sacrificed for us, freeing us from slavery to sin and the oppression of death. This Haggadah is a guide to celebrating a Passover seder from a Christian point of view. It delves into the festival of freedom, highlighting liberation not only from the physical bondage of Egypt but also from the spiritual shackles of sin and death through the redemptive sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

The Haggadah, or guide to the seder, outlines the order of the Passover evening, including the removal of leaven, preparation of the table, and the elements of the Seder, such as the Seder plate, matzah, four cups of wine, and bitter herbs. It strongly emphasizes reflection upon God's redemptive love, the symbolism of the Passover lamb, and Jesus as the ultimate Passover Lamb whose sacrifice ushers in salvation and a new covenant.

Through prayers, Psalms of praise, and the communal sharing of the Seder meal, "Broken For You" encourages readers to commemorate and rejoice in God's salvation. It aims to foster a community centered around Yeshua (Jesus), family, and fellowship, empowering believers to live a redeemed life and to spread the Gospel. This Haggadah is a valuable resource for those looking to deepen their understanding of Passover within a Christian context, enriching their celebration with layers of spiritual significance.
