“These are the appointed feasts of the Lord, the holy convocations, which you shall proclaim at the time appointed for them. In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight, is the Lord’s Passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall not do any ordinary work. But you shall present a food offering to the Lord for seven days. On the seventh day is a holy convocation; you shall not do any ordinary work.” ~ Leviticus 23:4-7
Pesach, also called Passover, is the first Biblical Feast of our Creator’s New Year. There is much to understand about this eternal Feast. What We want to focus on for now, is that we often think that when Yeshua (Jesus) tells us to “do this in remembrance of me,” we have been taught that it is referring to what we call “communion,” the eating of bread and drinking of wine. What we miss is that Yeshua is reaffirming Yahweh’s eternal Feasts, and redirecting our understanding of it. He eagerly desires to dine with us! Celebrate Pesach/Passover, Yahweh’s eternal Feast, in remembrance of the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world!
“And he said to them, ‘I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.’ After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, ‘Take this and divide it among you. For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.’ And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.'” ~ Luke 22:15-20
Can we “do communion” at any other time of the year? We don’t see a prohibition. What we see all throughout Scripture is that Yahweh’s Feasts are eternal, forever, never ended. And His children will want to celebrate them! Will you celebrate Pesach, and dine with your Creator?
We would like to gift you a Pesach banner, if you want to celebrate His Passover Feast! Click here, and download. We enjoy having children color the individual bunting piece and then cutting out. For longevity, you can laminate them, too.
May you find Abba’s blessings, as you seek after Him and desire to follow The Way.
