Parsha Bo Postcards

 And when, in time to come, your children ask you, saying ‘What does this mean?’ you shall say to them, ‘It was with a mighty hand that the LORD brought us out from Egypt, the house of bondage.’
                                                                                   Exodus 13:14

This week we are reading in Parsha Bo. " Bo"  means "Come". 

God grants a new beginning to the children of Israel from slavery to redemption through the Exodus.  In our parsha this week, He marks the beginning of months, establishes the first month of Spring and the Passover offering.  All this just before the tenth plague of the first born where the homes of the children of Israel are “Passed over” and marked by the blood of the lamb.

Our new life begins when we are redeemed in the blood of the Lamb, our Messiah Yeshua.  He himself the Passover lamb.  We are told over and over in the Torah to remember the story of the Exodus  and tell it to our children throughout the generations.  We tell it as part of the kiddush which is said every Friday night at Shabbat, where we remember the Exodus from Egypt and God’s great love in which He guided us and redeemed us.

May we ourselves and our children be eager to learn and know God, to fear Him,
and may our families, loved ones, community, and all of Israel
“Come” to Yeshua! 
The Ruach and the bride await, saying,
“COME!”
