Today is Passover and commemoration of one of the holy feasts instituted by God in the Old Testament but made even more holy by Jesus. We have been misled by Rome and the enemy, making us think that celebrating the holy feasts is unnecessary because we are not Jewish. These feasts are God’s design and are not of human origin. Therefore, we should recognize the importance of following the ordinances God has instituted. It’s hard because we were never taught to follow them, but God told us to. We need to learn to quiet the world’s cares and do what God tells us to do in His Word. 

When Jesus ate the Passover Feast with his disciples before going to the cross, he specifically told us to keep this feast in remembrance of him. So what do we do? We decorate eggs and eat chocolate Easter bunnies, making a mockery of that solemn day. It is more evident than ever that we need to do our best to celebrate the way God intended, and if our churches do not teach it, we should take it upon ourselves to do what is right in the eyes of God. No one is leading this charge, so you do the research and lead your family in the right direction. 

Today, our family will celebrate Passover the best we know how in a Christian environment, remember the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made on the cross to save us from our sins, show our gratitude to him for raising from the dead to prove that he is God, and for giving us eternal life. 

During the PASSOVER meal:

And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. Luke 22:19-20

Doesn’t scripture make you believe Jesus wanted us to celebrate communion during Passover just as he did?
