Of course he did. Yet he still went. He went with prayer. He used the Passover festivities to meet people, to share Christ, to bring gifts, to sing the hymns. Should not we do the same? Should not we all have the same liberties?

At the very least your salvation, your membership to the new creation, have nothing to do with your participation in this holiday.
