Remembering a significant milestone or event in life is seldom difficult. Remembering the reason that it occurred may not be as easy. I remember the day I walked through graduation for high school and college. All I really understood about both of those events was that the struggle was over. The hard work, and homework, were finished. I had completed the formal aspect of my education. I was ready to start using all that I had learned. But I didn’t understand the importance of the English classes in which I merely “did the work”. So I was surprised when people didn’t understand the words that I wrote. God displayed his mighty power as he brought Israel out of the bondage of slavery in Egypt. I think he knew the generations would remember the events of Israel’s liberation. But God wanted them to know why he delivered them. He didn’t want the generations to be ignorant of the work that he did and the plans that he had for those whom he had set free. Passover was intended to be a celebration of liberation from slavery through their dependence upon God. For the Christians the celebration of the Lord’s Supper has the same meaning.
