So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance.
In this scripture, God speaks to Moses, instructing him to implement the Passover. It is in the Passover that we see the significance of blood sacrifices as a means of deliverance for individuals, families and nations. Jesus brought greater meaning to Passover when He set Holy Communion in order at the Last Supper. The old Passover was a celebration of the rescue from physical bondage to freedom in our mortal lives; Holy Communion is a memorial celebration of deliverance from death unto eternal life. The need for animal blood was abolished and the provision of the blood of God's only Son was instituted. Let us not forget the greatest price for our eternal hope and future.
