So who created evil?" Again, the student has no answer. The student squirms on his feet. "So who created them?" The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his question. The student's voice betrays him and cracks. The old man stops pacing. "No sir. "Yes, professor.

How the Passover Reveals Jesus Christ Introduction The festival of the Passover has been celebrated by Jews for thousands of years. Passover symbolism Much of the symbolism of Jesus' last Passover week is lost to us because we are unaware of the customs of the time. For example, Jesus came into the city of Jerusalem five days before the lamb was killed in the temple as the Passover sacrifice for the sins of the people of Israel. Five days before the lamb was to be sacrificed, it was chosen. Passover sacrifice The day Jesus was crucified was the day of the Passover celebration and the day that the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed. Burial The festival of unleavened bread began Friday evening (at sunset). Resurrection Christian symbolism in the Passover occurs early in the Seder (the Passover dinner).
