God saves us by Grace.
The World is going somewhere Good.
Jews and Christians Both Value

Living out G_d’s Way in the world
Repenting of Sin and seeking forgiveness
G_d’s character

Be careful how you engage a tradition
Eating a Seder meal doesn’t make you more like Jesus.
Don’t say, We’re really all Jewish now!
