* Love, Justice and Power: The Message of Passover for Christians
Passover is a Jewish celebration of the mighty acts of God in liberating the ancient Israelites from slavery in Egypt.
But it is also much more. For the events that culminated in Passover tell us a momentous story about God's power, His love for His people and His justice.
Yet there is even more. Because Passover is a story with a particularly deep and resounding message - that God's mighty act in redeeming the Israelites foreshadowed another, even mightier, act, when He would come to Earth in the form of a baby. And this time He would redeem the entire world.
Read this short book and be inspired and encouraged that our God is a God of love, justice and power.
