Tonight we begin our unit on Moses. Each year that teach about Moses I gain more respect for him. He is becoming my favorite old Testament character. Tonight we will start at the beginning of the story of Exodus, from the birth of Moses through the 10 plagues. The final plague was the death of the first born son. The Israelites were instructed to kill a lamb, pour the blood of the lamb on their doorpost so God would pass over their house and not kill the firstborn son. The Israelites had to prepare their food in a hurry, so their bread did not have time to rise. God later tells the Israelites to celebrate Passover each year to remind them of how he saved the Israelites from the Egyptians. Fast forward to the New Testament and it was the night of Passover that Jesus, who is the perfect lamb who shed his blood for us, instituted the Eucharist.
I made unleavened bread and served grape juice with it to my students.
