Full Summary

At Seder, yetsias Mitzrayim must be relived rather than commemorated as past event. We must first understand what shibud is to appreciate contrast. We also must begin story with shibud (maschilin bi'gnus) and review story in QA form - as if we're just finding out now. Finally, we see geulah as eternal event: Beforehand, we were given mitzvah (מצוה) of kiddush hachodesh implying we control time and are above it. Also, Makkas Bechoros occurred exactly at midnight - point not within time.
