journeying through the meal – v3

the annual Passover remembrance

a feast journeying, retelling their story;

God’s provision, God’s protection,

God’s leading them to freedom.

journeying through the meal

the history of God’s people;

each step of the Haggadah

steeped with rich meaning.

the air dripping with tension

that night in the upper room;

the betrayer still with them

as they gathered for that meal.

journeying through the story,

but forever changed by Jesus;

the words of Jeremiah spoken

at the Passover table.
