Video of Passover Sacrifice

Posted Monday, April 28, 2008 by Charlie Trimm

Ever since the destruction of the Temple by the Romans in 70 AD, the Jews have not offered sacrifices. The Samaritans have continued to offer a sacrifice on Passover, but mainline Judaism has rejected any sacrifice. But recently a group of Jews in Jerusalem decided to offer a sacrifice in the Old City in Jerusalem. Some friends of Todd Bolen happened to be there (after following a knife through the Old City) and he writes about the story behind the video. The video itself is a few minutes long and contains the preparation for the sacrifice and the sacrifice itself. Be warned: it is quite bloody and graphic, so if you are at all squeamish, then do not watch it. But before you get upset that someone would do this to an animal, remember that God commanded sacrifices, the same God we serve today. The sacrifice reminds us of the cost that must be paid for our sins.
