GOD'S MEMORIAL DAY

Exodus 12: 24-27

And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons FOREVER. And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as He hath promised, that ye shall keep this service. 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 worshiped.

AN ORDINANCE FOREVER

We are to keep the sacrifice of the passover forever, not in the same way as they did before JESUS was crucified, but with the same meaning as the original sacrifice. THIS IS ORDAINED BY GOD.

How do we keep this ordinance? The Holy Communion of the Body and Blood of JESUS. JESUS is the Lamb of GOD without spot or blemish, sacrificed upon the altar of the Cross and died for us. But that is not the end of it. JESUS rose from the dead and carried His Blood into the Holy Place to pour it upon the Mercy Seat; He sealed the New Covenant with His Blood; a Covenant between GOD and JESUS, who is GOD Incarnate. "Whenever you eat this bread and drink from this cup, you do show forth His death until He comes". Yes, HE IS COMING AGAIN for His faithful people who make up the Bride of Christ.

This is the memorial day of JESUS. "DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME" 1st. Jesus gave thanks; 2nd He took the bread and said that "this is His body broken". His broken body unites us in one body and all sin, disease and the curse were taken to the Cross and were defeated. 3rd. JESUS took the cup and that this is His Blood of the new Covenant; unshakable and unbreakable. The debt is paid and the VICTORY IS WON.

"We remember His death and resurrection as we await His coming in Glory".

When our children ask "What is the meaning of this service?" we are to say, "This is the sacrifice of the LORD'S Passover" When JESUS took upon Him the iniquity of us all and through Him, death is defeated and we are free. He gave us His Body and Blood for the remembrance that we are free as long as we stay in Him. JESUS will return to take His Bride home and the Lamb will marry the Bride at the wedding feast of the LAMB.

As we abide until He comes, let us keep the feast for "THIS IS THE FEAST OF THE VICTORY OF OUR GOD." Let us bow our head and worship!
