What Are They Teaching Our Children?



I had a very interesting disturbing encounter the other day...I was out and about, getting some items for meal preps looming on the horizon.  One of the plans is for the event of Passover.  I was sorely disappointed that the store I frequent did not have any of the Kosher unleavened crackers that are used at the time of Passover.  Then, after seeing no crackers I proceeded to the jam aisle to look for mint jelly.  I wanted real mint jelly, not apple jelly flavored as mint.  Nope, nada, ZILCH! 

I am usually not one to complain to people when I am out and about, yea, on here...but really, when I am out and about, I try to not complain.  Especially for items that I for whatever reason cannot get at the store.  However, this time I made an exception.  They asked if I was able to get everything I needed and I decided to say something: "Something!"  They responded with (the clerk looked to be in his late 20s' early 30s' to me) and the young girl bagging my groceries looked about 20ish...maybe younger... It's really hard to tell.  Anyhow, the young man proceeds to tell me how he has never heard of Passover and I asked something about the Jews..."You've never heard of the Jews?"  The story of Passover which really is more than the story of the Jews but of the Israelites...I said to him, "You need to study your history!"  STUDY YOUR HISTORY!!!

So as the young lady and I proceed to go out to my car she asked more about Passover and WWII and said, "They do not teach that to us in school anymore."  "Really!"  I was really shocked that she really did not seem to know anything about WWII...and was very interested in Passover.  I look at the two very closely related...the extermination of the Jews in WWII and the Israelites being brought from enslavement to freedom by the exodus of the Israelites told about usually at this time of year, you know Easter, however, the real Easter is the Passover Lamb!  The sacrifice made that saved any and everyone during "The Pass Over." 

Jesus Christ, My Passover Lamb...

I was really excited I got to share with her the story of Jesus Christ, the Passover Lamb, who came to restore us to right relationship with God, the Father.  The symbology of marking the doorposts with blood so that the Angel of Death would pass over the household therein.  The fact that Christ willingly laid down his life for me, a sinner, who could never repay the price or meet the requirements of the sacrifice.  A part of history of where over six million people died and they are not teaching this to our children...What are they teaching our children?
