Never Forget
“And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service? That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the Lord’s passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when He smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped”
(Exodus 12:26-27).
God did not want His people, the children of Israel, to forget this miraculous deliverance from the bondage of Pharaoh and the Egyptians, and so the Passover memorial was instituted. It was to be observed and kept from year to year.
The Lord’s Supper is the same for us. Rather than once a year, we find that the early Christians broke bread once a week. “Upon the first day of the week…the disciples came together to break bread” (Acts 20:7). We were not there at Calvary but we must never forget it. “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death till He come” (1 Corinthians 11:26).
