Because Jesus Christ, the Messiah, is the fulfillment of all that God was teaching His chosen people through their feasts and holy days. He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

I understand you believe that and I hope that such believe guides you to a prosperous, peaceful and good life. However, there are significant theological differences between Christianity and Judaism. Significant Christian beliefs like original sin, a messiah as God incarnate, or that God, as a man, sacrifices himself to save people's souls from hell. Speaking of "hell", why would a loving God create a hell? And if you say "lucifer" or "satan" created it, then you believe in polytheism.

Thank you for the kind words. I hope the same for you.

There certainly are differences between Judaism and Christianity - some quite significant. However, it is true that the majority of the first Christians WERE Jews. Christianity didn't get invented out of whole cloth. It was/is the natural outcome of the fulfillment of hundreds of Old Testament prophecies pointing to the Messiah which includes the symbolism in the Passover Seder with all its parts including the hidden matzo spoken of in this OP.

Doctrines such as the universal sin nature of man, the Divinity of the Messiah (God with us), the sacrifice of the Messiah for the sins of the world, even hell, are all doctrines found within the books of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms. I'd be really honored to show them to you should you truly desire to know.

I hope you have a blessed weekend.
