UNIFYING LESSON PRINCIPLE:

People love to commemorate historic events by creating traditional days of celebration. What makes these commemorations so important? God gave Moses and the people instructions for the first Passover, commemorating their deliverance from Egyptian bondage.

CONCLUDING REFLECTION:

This Passover event points us to the death and suffering of Jesus the Christ, the only begotten Son of God. According to the Gospels, the final act and night Jesus spent with His disciples on Earth was in the observance of this Passover meal. Consistent with the redemptive work of Israel’s liberation from Egypt, Jesus instituted something new out of something old. He took both bread and wine and blessed them and told His disciples to commemorate that night each time they were together until He returned.

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, it is with deep appreciation we come to You today. Thank You for all that You have done for us in salvation history through Jesus Christ our LORD. Each time we gather around the Lord’s Table to share in the ancient ritual of the Lord’s Supper, let us remember afresh the true meaning of our freedom. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
