Judaism & Christianity
More alike than different
2 of the oldest, greatest, and major religions of the world
One derived directly from the other
And this week, both great religions celebrate some of their most important holidays
For Jews, this week is Passover, where God led Moses to rescue the Jews from bitter slavery in Egypt.
For Christians, this weekend is Good Friday and Easter, where Jesus Christ was tortured and killed, but then rose again and was resurrected.
2 religions, 1 common theme.
Moses and Jesus – 2 towering figures in religious history.
Both with a direct connection to God.
Both holidays are celebrated in spring – symbolizing renewal and new beginnings
Both celebrate the overcoming of extreme cruelty & adversity – slavery & crucifixion
Both stories honor the triumph of the human spirit over terrible tragedy
Ultimately, they provide us important messages of hope, optimism, positivity,
So whatever your faith, whatever your belief, may you have a peaceful, thoughtful, reflective, and ultimately joyful holiday season
