I attended a “seder dinner” class put on my a Messianic Jew (believer of Jesus.). IIRC at the early part of the dinner they put a piece of unleavened bread in a napkin and go hide it. Then at the end the kids go look for it and the one who finds it gets a prize or something.
Anyway - the guy said that it is just a fun game. There is no meaning behind it in the Jewish tradition. Then he said something like “But, as Christians - what does this obviously represent? This fun game for the Jews - I believe it was God giving us (he’s a Jew) insight to Jesus’s death and resurrection. The bread/body wrapped in a napkin/death cloth and hidden away for awhile - only to be discovered again - and the joy the discovery brings!”
I agree. That’s a neat parallel. Thanks.
Wonderful story! Thank you.
