For more than 3,000 years, our Jewish brothers and sisters have celebrated a Passover Seder as instructed by God in Exodus 12. As Christians, we acknowledge our own spiritual heritage in the events of the Exodus, and we recognize that those events and God’s instructions to celebrate the Passover, have implications for our own salvation story. Christ’s exhortation to remember Him, His death, and His resurrection through the wine and broken bread of Holy Communion emanates from a Passover Seder.
It seems good and right to re-enact that Last Supper with a Passover Seder, to be celebrated on the same night that Jesus celebrated it. But a Christian celebration should be more than just a remembrance of God’s deliverance of His people from Egypt. It should also point us towards Christ’s death and resurrection.
About 25 years ago, on Maundy Thursday, our family began observing the Last Supper/Passover Seder as a worshipful acknowledgment of our faith and belief in Jesus Christ. We have sifted through dozens of Jewish Seder instructions (there are literally thousands of such orders of worship) as well as “Christianized” versions that have been produced. Through time, our Seder has evolved so as to express our family’s worship style and theology.
We would like to offer this order of worship for a Maundy Thursday/Good Friday Seder in the hope that you can create a meaningful family worship experience in your home during Holy Week.
God Bless,
David and Noelle Wachter
