passover moment

I Cor. 11: “Do this in remembrance of Me.”

the Passover in every element pointed to Christ
pictured Him
and explained Him

the Communion remembers Christ

what was pictured in the Passover
is ‘finished’ on the Cross

the Passover was the promise of a future
the Communion table celebrates the Fulfillment

the Passover was a feast on the symbols of the True
the Communion is a feast of the True

Jesus is . . .the Blood of purity that
covers the sins of the whole world

the Bread of humility which
feeds the starved spirit of humanity

the Blood answers the death we earned
the Bread is the Life we lack

Christ is our Passover
