Dayenu

Dayenu... the chant sung at Passover (Pesach in the Hebrew). Dayenu is a compound word meaning literally "enough to us", & dynamically understood as "It would have been enough". When Jesus came to earth, He celebrated a last seder (We call it the last supper) where He drank from the 3rd cup... the cup of redemption, also understood to be that "cup of sorrows" that Jesus was willing to drink... for us. This would have been dayenu... enough to us. Jesus said in Luke 22:18 "For I tell you I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes." That 4th cup still sits there... waiting to be drunk. That 4th cup.... is known as the cup of Hallel, or the cup of praise (We remember the word "Halleluja, meaning dynamically "Praise Yahweh"). It would have been enough...for our Lord to drink that 3rd cup for us. As a matter of fact, who would be so arrogant as to ask God Himself to die for us... enough was far too much to ask. He didn't stop at enough though. He went home "To prepare a place for you" as a good Jewish husband to be would do for the love of His life. He told us that if He went to prepare a place for us, He would come again. There is a day coming when our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ will drink that 4th cup... that cup of praise... at His wedding. If you have not made your reservation to be at this feast, I strongly urge you to do so. He loved you enough to do "dayenu" for you.He loves you with an everlasting love. Will you call Him Lord today? Will you repent & give Him all of your life... the life He gave you to begin with. This will be "dayenu". God bless you.
