MY PASSOVER EXAM SPECIAL HANDOUT

 

The detailed story on this you’ll find in my book “A’Wise And A’ Foolish In Canaan’s Land”—but the backstory involves a unique experience I had when I was in college that made this handout especially practical and useful to me over the years. Based originally from a combination of a sermon given to me by a former pastor and a sermonette by a former church elder, I now offer this to you as a way to appropriately prepare for the commemoration of the death, burial, and resurrection of Y’shua/Jesus.

In my personal experience, I find that most people when it comes to the actual observance of Communion/the Lord’s Supper usually fall into two camps—either they tend to take it too lightly and don’t heed the Apostle Paul’s admonition to “…take heed to yourselves…examine yourselves and see whether or not ye be in the faith or not…”—OR go to the opposite extreme and act like scared fraidy cats who feel as if God the Father Himself would strike them down as they take Communion because of an inappropriate self-perception of themselves not being worthy enough to be in the same planet as the Almighty…much less be worthy to partake of a special costly gift He gave us through the death of His Son on the cross that could be used as a tool to remind us of the very blood He shed SO THAT we could be truly healed, restored, renewed, and refreshed.

So wherever you might fall on this scale, I recommend during the Pesach/Easter season that you FIRST take a look at this Passover Exam BEFORE you head to your local congregation and participate in the next commemoration of Communion/Lord’s Supper. THEN as you study the questions on this exam, take some special time to get with the Lord to ask you and Him these questions as part of the process of your spiritual self-examination of your heart and how your relationship might be with Him. THEN—after you have done this, go WITH CONFIDENCE to partake of those special blessed elements with the knowledge that all is right between not only you and Him, but also between you and man as well. DON’T go to the Lord’s table with doubts—take this Passover Exam challenge for yourself before you do Communion and then RECEIVE the special costly gift He left behind for you knowing that He loves and cares for you very much!

As I personally pray Psalm 20 over you BELIEVING THAT ALL of the petitions that you’ve asked Him WILL BE HEARD EVEN as YOU in turn say “YES!” to Him who speaks on behalf of OTHERS who might have needs themselves—and ALSO in the Name of the One who died, was buried, and who rose again SO THAT He could in turn be THE ULTIMATE ANSWER to those in their greatest time of need…

Shalom rubakah and have a great Pesach and FUB--
