Celebrating The Milestones
After going back and forth with Pharaoh regarding the redemption of the Israelites, God puts an end to it with the Passover. A milestone is described as "a significant stage or event in the development of something". We can hopefully agree that this particular moment was a milestone not only for the Israelite community but also for you and me because it foreshadowed what Jesus would later do on the cross, affording us salvation. What is significant for us to note in this passage is that the Lord goes on to command the Israelites to celebrate this as a feast to the Lord, throughout the generations. The word celebrate, as is used here, is in fact the word hagag which we referred to on day one. By calling them to celebrate, God calls them to prepare, to keep, or to observe this feast annually, to remind future generations of what God has done for them.
On the eve of Jesus’ crucifixion, He sits down with the disciples to observe this same Passover feast. What is different now, however, is that Jesus instructs them to do this in remembrance of Him, alluding to what He would achieve on the cross. While there are many similarities in both stories, it is significant that in both instances God calls for a perpetual celebration of these milestones in their faith.
Reflection: What are the milestones in your own faith that God is calling you to celebrate?
Prayer: Father, thank you for the death and resurrection of Jesus; I thank you that communion helps me to remember this great milestone in my faith. Help me to always remember who You are and who You have always been through the ages. Amen.
