A Memorial for the Sparing of Their Lives. vv.7-13

The Lord’s Supper originated out of the Passover meal.  The Passover meal was instructed in Exodus Chapter 12:1-28 to continue annually as a memorial for God’s sparing of the firstborn.  The requirement was that the doorway be covered with the Lamb’s blood!  How will our lives be spared eternally, by being covered by “The Lambs Blood”?

It’s a celebration of the mercy of God!

 

A Monument for the Salvation of Our Eternal Lives. vv.14-20

“Let us, then, study to respond to this great love of Christ. It is true, we can never parallel His love. Yet let us show ourselves thankful. We can do nothing satisfactory—but we may do something out of gratitude. Christ gave Himself as a sin-offering for us. Let us give ourselves as a thank-offering for Him. If a man redeems another out of debt—will he not be grateful? How deeply do we stand obliged to Christ—who has redeemed us from hell!”  ― Thomas Watson

The Lord’s Supper is often referred to as the “Eucharist” which comes from the Greek verb meaning ‘to give thanks’.  We’re thankful for what Christ has done!  He’s set us free!
