Reading Luke 22 verses 7 to 18.

Jesus said he would not eat this meal nor drink wine again until the Kingdom of God has arrived.

So this means He WILL eat and drink the Passover meal again physically here on earth? Not in heaven? That's how it looks to me.
I also thought about the menu they ate that night, just curious as it wouldn't just have been bread and wine. All accommodation and meals for Jesus and his disciples were at others' homes I presume. He never had a home nor income. I wondered how and where money was available. I expect wealthier supporters helped.
Jesus never mentioned money, certainly never asked anything of anyone. As He said, the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head, who can truly follow Him?

Of course it comes to mind the lavish way the Pope and his people live, the way Bishops and clergy have enjoyed palaces and the best of everything. The way TV preachers are beyond the pale with their private jets and so on. But I am getting off the track! I really just imagine how Jesus and His band of disciples lived and oh how it humbles me. It should humble us all. He had so little, He came to serve us. How lucky are we?

Passover should be kept by us, and will be kept after Christ returns, along with other Holy Days.

Hi
Christians don't mark Passover - do we?
I thought it was a Jewish custom.

I do. And many other Christians do also.
Passover has become a family tradition.
No one has to be an observant believer. A family relationship is enough.
The modern, traditional Seder does not keep the Memorial for the feast.
What is the Memorial of Passover for a Christian?

Hi,
May I ask what is on the menu? I am very interested in food. Also how you celebrate this special day.

Thank you for asking. The menu is typically salad such as kale(bitter herbs), unleavened bread(homemade), wine or juice. And anything else you want that is kosher and unleavened.

We pray, read about Passover in the Bible, and do communion and foot washing.

Our seder at home is not typical. We literally wear shoes, belts, and have staff in hand. And we eat the bitter herbs and matsa in haste. We take the commands more literal than an Orthodox seder. After these things we relax and enjoy a regular meal.

I do enjoy Messianic seders. But they feel too Orthodox most of the time. I went to one where even unbelievers were invited. They just wanted a free meal I guess. It wasn't right. The seders are usually way too long, and have lots of various traditions, which aren't bad, they just aren't required either.

A typical seder lasts about 4 hours. The typical seder meal has an egg, matsa, parsley, saltwater, something like applesauce, 4 cups of wine(or juice), an optional lamb. We choose to not use lamb, because of a law that the lamb must be slaughtered at the Temple. No Temple...so...what do we do?

Traditions include lots of prayer and Bible reading. Dipping fingers in wine and sprinkling it on the plate, dipping parsley in saltwater, hiding one of the 3 aifikomen, sometimes it is broken, other congregations leave it whole.

The Orthodox seder is basically set in stone and if you do anything off, people can throw a fit. But there is some variance among Christians that keep it.

If you are interested, you should attend at least one Christian seder. Messianics, United Church of God, some SDA, and some non-denominational Christians keep it.

It is amazing to see how many prophecies Yeshua fulfilled when you keep Pesach. It really opened my eyes to a lot of miracles and prophecies He fulfilled. Obviously He is the lamb, but also the aifikomen wrapped in linen and hidden, the stripes on matsa, the holes(or hole) in matsa, is the stripes He took for us, and the spear that pierced Him. There is so much that gets overlooked if you don't keep it. Try it sometime.
