![]() ![]() We recently participated in this very solemn and moving ceremony. ![]() Passover comes around once a year-not every week, not every few months, not when we decide it is time. The date was established long before the sacrifice of Christ, and it has always pointed to that sacrifice both before and after that time. He established before His death the new symbols of the Passover that were to replace the old ones celebrated yearly from the past. The Israelites were passed over from certain death on this night by blood on their door posts, and now we can all be passed over from the certainty of death caused by sin because of the shed blood of the Lamb of God. It only comes around once a year, at the same time as the original event. Passover is the anniversary of a major event of far more importance than the day we married. My thought was: How often do you celebrate your wedding anniversary? Would it mean more to you if you made it a weekly occurrence? We should make time for our spouses often, but our anniversary only comes around once a year. Some think this verse means the more often you take it, the better. Paul wrote: "For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes" (1 Corinthians 11:25). We once attended a church where it was a weekly ritual. A discussion came up at our local church potluck on whether it mattered how often you took the symbols of the poured out blood and the broken body of Christ. ![]()
