“In days to come, when your son asks you, ‘What does this mean?’ say to him, ‘With a mighty hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the Lord killed every firstborn in Egypt, both man and animal. This is why I sacrifice to the Lord the first male offspring of every womb and redeem each of my firstborn sons.'” (Exodus 13:14–15, NIV 1984).
My Musings – Passover. “You must keep this ordinance at the appointed time year after year.” (Exodus 13:10, NIV 1984). And so, it continues, passed down from generation to generation, to this very day. And likely will continue, until Jesus returns.
Passover. Jesus kept “this ordinance [up to His] appointed time.” The time of His sacrifice for our sins. “On the night he was betrayed, [he] took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, ‘This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.’ For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.” (1 Corinthians 11:23–26, NIV 1984). The very next day He was crucified. The fulfilment of what Passover was a mere shadow of, and a new lasting ordinance, “in remembrance of [Him].“
My Advice – We must continue to “do this in remembrance” of His “death until he comes.” “For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.” (2 Timothy 4:2–4, NIV 1984). They turn “away from the truth” of what He did on the cross and set it “aside [as a] myth.”
