My "Lantsman" from Hartford" received the following letter [*slightly edited]. In a future post we will present his response
Here is the Easter challenge:

Hag Kasher v'Samei'ach,

Good Day Cantor Wolberg,

I read your Holiday message in the bulletin today, and was wondering why you come so close to making the connection, but never get there. The reality of Passover was one of the "passing over of death" by an angel of God. When the Angel of Death saw the "Blood" on the door post he passed over that home.

It was the "Blood" of a unblemished lamb, (the sacrifice) that made it possible for the Angel of Death to "Passover". That was the foreshadow of the "Messiah" to come.

Being freed from slavery was not the main point! The Passover foreshadowed that J C would be that Passover Lamb, and thus, death would Passover all that would now believe in him. How can you not get that J C was the Messiah from all the examples found in the old Testament?

Without the Blood sacrifice of J C on the Cross, there would be no passing over of death,.... freedom would not have mattered much,.. then or now! But the greatest thing of all was that J C rose from the grave and like the bondage of Egypt God delivered him out of that grave,... having victory over death the greatest of bondage's.

The Bible tells us that all men are sinful,... and therefore deserve death,... for what does the Scripture say,... THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH!!!! Romans 6:23,.. but please look at the rest of the verse,... "but the gift of God is eternal life THROUGH J C OUR LORD!!!!!! for all those who will place their faith in him and believe with there hearts.

Easter is the GREATEST PASSOVER of all! Will you at least consider that God has done all the work,.. and all he requires   from you is your FAITH!!! Hear Oh Israel, For the "GREAT I AM" is one God, and J C is his name!!!!!
