Passover -- Question # 2

                                  Passover -- Question # 2

2. On all other nights we eat all kinds of vegetables and herbs, but on this night we have to eat bitter herbs. ( In a Seder, this is usually horseradish)

 “For on that long ago night, that night of Passover for the children of Israel, God said that ‘bitter herbs they shall eat’ (Ex. 12:8) and so we do too. To remember the bitterness of the cruel slavery of the Israelites to Pharaoh, to recall the bitterness of our relentless, ugly bondage to sin.”  “But we eat the bitter herbs with the matzah to remember how Jesus, our Bread of Life, has paid the price and absorbed our bitter sins.”
