Th e Pass(ed)over Table: Reawakening the Healing Balance of Grace and Truth in Communion
Are you struggling with sinful patterns and dark thoughts that refuse to leave? Does the shame and guilt from living what feels like a hypocritical life haunt you? Do you sometimes think God has given up on you, or maybe worse, you've given up on Him? If so, it's time to experience Communion in the way the disciples did the night before Jesus died-a moment tailor-made for healing, restoration, and freedom that has been "pass(ed)over" in our modern observances.
When we pair Jesus' example at the Passover with Paul's instructions in 1st Corinthians, we tap into the balance of love and admonishment within the environment of Christian fellowship that is the source of all healing. His shed blood has the power to break the chains of sin, and confession and prayer amongst our fellow believers holds the power to heal us from the spiritual "weakness, sickness, and sleep" Paul warned of that now holds too many of God's people captive.
Michael questions whether we are truly experiencing the deep, life-changing benefits that Jesus intended for us in our 10-minute rituals that promote grace that comforts apart from the command to "examine ourselves and so eat and drink"-tables set without "the knife" that is not so comfortable. Sadly, Communion for many has become a routine, ineffective "meaningless repetition" rendering them disconnected from the incredible promise it should hold.
He calls you to rediscover this one-of-a-kind ceremony as the powerful, life-changing experience Jesus meant communing with Him to be, but it will come with a price as well as an embrace. Here you will encounter the living Christ who still heals, restores, and sets people free through equal portions of forgiveness and tough love.
This book will walk you and your small group through an event of which Jesus uniquely declared, "I have earnestly desired to do this with you " That desire is still alive and well today, but you must come in remembrance of the truth and grace he consistently displayed while with us. If you want to introduce yourself and your Ecclesia to an experience that will heal and unite you in purpose, power, and love like no other ceremony available, leave the 10-minute rituals behind and employ The Pass(ed)over Table
