Homilist Exodus 12:14 And this day shall be to you for a memorial; and you shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations… I. THE JEWISH INSTITUTION WAS COMMEMORATIVE; SO IS THE LORD'S SUPPER. 1. It was a "memorial" of a deliverance from the most cruel bondage. 2. It was a "memorial" of a deliverance from the most cruel bondage by the sacrifice of an innocent victim. 3. It was a "memorial" of a deliverance wrought by the sovereign compassion of God (Exodus 3:7, 8). II. THE JEWISH INSTITUTION WAS SOCIAL; SO IS THE LORD'S SUPPER. 1. Here all feel that they are in the same moral condition. 2. Here all feel that they are dependent on the same Redeemer for salvation. 3. Here all feel that they are members of the same family and destined for the same house. III. THE JEWISH INSTITUTION WAS BINDING; SO IS THE LORD'S SUPPER. 1. It is binding on all. 2. It is binding on all perpetually. (Homilist.) Parallel Verses KJV: And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever. |
