Exodus 12:44 Any slave you have bought may eat it after you have circumcised him,
Today’s scripture has me thinking about faith traditions. Some faiths have a closed communion table. The only ones allowed to partake are those who have gone through the rites and rituals to be allowed to partake. Some faiths have an open communion table, where all are welcome to come and seek to know Him more.
Exodus 12:45 but a temporary resident or a hired worker may not eat it.
My pastor always says before communion, “You don’t even have to be sure you believe” in order to partake at our communion table. I am at a place in my life where that open table is important. I question and doubt and seek and explore on a daily basis. I’m thankful for a Savior who not only can handle my questions but encourages me to know Him more.
Exodus 12:46 “It must be eaten inside the house; take none of the meat outside the house. Do not break any of the bones.
Precious Savior, Thank You for Your love and inclusivity. Thank You for the encouragement to love You and love others and encourage each other, lifting each other up. Help us, even when it’s hard, even when we are grumpy, to love like You do. Amen.
Exodus 12:47 The whole community of Israel must celebrate it.
Have a blessed day.
