Ex. 12:1-4 (5-10) 11-14: Passover ritual prescribed. How to sacrifice a spotless lamb for sins.
Ps. 116:1-2, 12-19: I will offer a sacrifice of Thanksgiving.
1 Cor. 11:23-26: Jesus took the bread and wine, "Do this in remembrance of me".
John 13:1-17, 31b-35: Jesus washes the feet of his disciples, does communion, prophecies that he will die, and gives a new commandment.
In the Old Testament, they had to take a spotless male lamb and sacrifice it to cover their sins (Ex. 12:1-14).They also did sacrifices of thanksgiving for having their sins covered (Ps. 116:1-2, 12-19). Just before Jesus gave himself as the final spotless lamb for our sins, Jesus washed his disciples feet, spoke of his sacrifice to come and showed them how to remember Jesus sacrifice by showing them hoe to remember his sacrifice by taking the communion. Then he gave them a new commandant to love one another (John 13:1-17, 31-35/ 1 Cor. 11:23-26).
Challenge for the day:
Today, take the time today to thank Jesus for being your final sacrifice for your sins.
