Among the laws that apply to the eating of the Korban Pesach are that a person must eat it as part of only one group, and he may not move from one group to another, nor may one break any of its bones as he eats it.
The Pesach observance marks the celebration of our emerging from bondage to freedom. When the Jewish Nation left Egypt, they were taken l'cheirus olam, an everlasting, true freedom. Theirs was a freedom from bondage, but not freedom from restrictions.
The freedom we enjoy as a result of Yetizas Mitzrayim offers us the opportunity to find fulfillment by connecting with Hashem. We can, however, abuse that freedom.
So as we mark our Exodus from Egypt, as we relish eating the roasted meat of the Korban Pesach, we are reminded that while are free, rules still apply. And it is those rules that ensure that we have make use of our freedom to find true joy and fulfillment.
May we merit to properly use the opportunities we are afforded, and may we enjoy the Korban Pesach in Yershalayim this year, b'vias goel tzedek.
Gut Shabbos.
