Day 129 – Remembrance Numbers 9:1 Now JEHOVAH spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying, 2 “Let the children of Israel keep the Passover at its appointed time. 3 On the fourteenth day of this month, at twilight, you will keep it at its appointed time. According to all its rites and ceremonies you will keep it.” 4 Moses told the children of Israel they should keep the Passover. 5 They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month, at twilight, in the Wilderness of Sinai; according to everything JEHOVAH commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did. 6 Now there were certain men defiled by a human corpse, so they could not keep the Passover on that day; and they came before Moses and Aaron that day. 7 those men said to him, “We became defiled by a human corpse. Why are we kept from presenting the offering of JEHOVAH at its appointed time among the children of Israel?” 8 Moses said to them, “Stand still, that I may hear what JEHOVAH will command concerning you.” 9 Then JEHOVAH spoke to Moses, saying, 10 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If anyone of you or your posterity is unclean because of a corpse, or is far away on a journey, he may keep JEHOVAH’S Passover. 11 On the fourteenth day of the second month, at twilight, they may keep it. They will eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 12 They will leave none of it until morning, nor break one of its bones. According to the ordinances of the Passover they will keep it. 13 But the man who is clean and is not on a journey, and ceases to keep the Passover, that same person will be cut off from among his people, because he did not bring the offering of JEHOVAH at its appointed time; that man will bear his sin. 14 If a stranger dwells among you, and would keep JEHOVAH’S Passover, he must do so according to the rite of the Passover and according to its ceremony; you will have one ordinance, both for the stranger and the native of the land.’” God’s names: JEHOVAH – Self-existent, Eternal Yeshuwa – Jesus Christos – Messiah, Anointed One Iesous – Jesus Kurios – Supreme in authority, God, Lord God’s character: Holy People have ceremonies for many things in life: weddings, graduations, church ordination, baptism, birth, death, and many more. Each occasion has its ritual to follow followed by celebrations by those who attended. JEHOVAH told the people they were to keep Passover as a yearly tradition with all its ceremony, and anyone who didn’t keep it without a valid excuse, was cut off from the people. Passover is kept among the Jewish people today with the tradition JEHOVAH ordained in the wilderness. Passover foreshadowed the death and resurrection of Yeshuwa Christos. He celebrated Passover with His disciples and made a new covenant with them, to keep the Passover often in remembrance of Him. Matthew 26:26 As they were eating, Iesous took bread, blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” 27 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 “For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” When you take communion, you celebrate Yeshuwa’s death and resurrection for your salvation. You remember the reason for the new covenant and worship Him as Savior and Lord. 1 Corinthians 11:23 For I received from the Kurios that which I also delivered to you: that the Kurios Iesous on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Kurios’ death till He comes. If you call yourself a Christian, you are to partake of communion often as a remembrance of what Yeshuwa did on the cross for you. What did He do? He shed His blood for the remission of your sin. He took your sin as His own, nailed it to the cross, and declared you not guilty. Let’s pray: Father, thank you for sending Your Son to take my punishment on the cross for my sin. I stand before You in my brokenness with Your Son’s blood covering me. Let my praise come before You for my salvation. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
