I often get impatient with church rituals and
directives. It seems like sometimes pomp takes over, when Jesus seemed to
advocate a simple life.
But then I look at Passover. It started as a
grab-and-go situation. But before it even happened, the Lord directed the
Israelites to commemorate it every year by observing it for 7 days, culminating
in a festival. The directions came complete with rules on what to sacrifice,
etc.
I guess people aren’t the only ones to blame for
making life (and religion) more complicated than it needs to be.
