    From the day we’re born, we begin a journey. It will be molded by our families, our environments, our beliefs, and motivations.

    God, as the alpha and omega is with us each step of the way, whether we follow him or not.

    Just as we have our own personal journeys, each character in the Bible has theirs. Each have had their own lessons to learn.

    And higher than that, God has used each one in his ultimate plan.

  • The Last Supper Isn't Over: Jesus, Passover and the Final Cup
    Apr 18 2025

    www.ourfatherabraham.com

    Lon and Ryan Wiksell, who are a father and son team,
    both ordained Christian ministers, but in very different faith traditions. Lon has a Master's of Divinity from Oral Roberts University and a Doctorate of Ministry in Messianic Judaism from the King's University.
    He continues to serve as an elder in his Messianic Gentile congregation near Kansas City. And though not Jewish, Ryan was raised by his parents in a Messianic Jewish community and went on to become an Episcopal priest, also in the Kansas City area.
    Dr. Lon Wiksell founded our father Abraham in 2060 with his son Ryan Wiksell to promote awareness of the Jewishness of Jesus and Christianity as well as to educate churchgoers about Jewish festivals like Passover.

    In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the rich spiritual and historical meaning behind Passover and how it connects to Jesus, the Last Supper, and the promise of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Lon shares insights into the significance of the four cups of the Seder meal, the symbolism of the unleavened bread, and the Psalms Jesus likely sang with His disciples. This episode will open your eyes to the beauty of communion, deepen your appreciation for the Eucharist, and show how the Last Supper is still ongoing—awaiting its glorious conclusion in the Kingdom of Heaven.

    From the day we’re born, we begin a journey. It will be molded by our families, our environments, our beliefs, and motivations.

    God, as the alpha and omega is with us each step of the way, whether we follow him or not.
