Well, according to Nathan Slegers, they are intimately connected in a way you may have never imagined. And, they may just help you discover the “why” in your own life and help you understand your own spiritual and personal practices better.
Nathan Slegers is a professor of engineering who put his analytical mind to the task of revealing the hidden narratives in the Passover and Easter story, and now he is sharing his insights into how the sister traditions of Judaism and Christianity may be even more closely linked through the Easter and Passover stories than once thought.

“Once I started taking those different stories and looking at them, all of a sudden, the purpose behind all of them seemed to align. I saw this one story behind all of them…they were all connected.”
“What is the purpose of the Passover? Really, it’s a redemption story.”
“Easter is the fulfillment of this long story of redemption.”
“The idea behind Christianity is that there is a redemption and salvation…you’re brought into a rest that was fulfilled through someone else’s work.”
“This is the purpose of redemption – to bring you into this rest, or this completed state of security.”
“Sometimes we get so familiar with things…you just take them for granted. You don’t understand the ‘why’ behind it or the significance.”
“Someone will question, ‘Why do you do this?’ and that’s an unnerving question if you haven’t really thought about it.”
“Don’t just settle for things that seem good to you…look at the reasons behind those beliefs.”
“It was like meeting Jesus again for the first time.”
