Nisan 14 . . . What Does It Mean To You?
Nisan 14.
Tonight,
the most important date
in international history.
Commanded: "Keep doing this in remembrance of me." Our Deliverer: Christ Jesus made the statement
before finally nailed to a tree.
The Passover to Israel
kept Egyptian bondage in mind.
But more so their deliverance
of the Divine kind.
Ten plagues,
the foremost
the death of first-borns
when lamb's blood
was not posted
on portals in faith
and exercise of love.
Then 15 centuries later,
instituted a new celebration:
A Special Meal
with 11 disciples
faithful to do God's will.
Memorialized: Christ's Death
to be experienced at day's end,
after the sunset
they passed unleavened bread
and took a sip of wine
after offering thanks to His Father
for such Loyal and True Friends.
The unleavened bread represented his sinless body
Sacrificed in love.
The wine: his 'blood of the covenant'
poured out at Golgotha
in behalf of the obedient many
"for forgiveness of sins"
and then after 40 days
presented to his Creator, our Maker
in the heavens above.
Just what does this date mean to you and me?
Does it matter that Christ's Death liberates us from the scourge of sin and death
allowing us a chance at Eternity?
Was pierced for us insignificant?
A mere trivial thing?
Or
Two of the Most Unselfish Acts
of Utmost Love unduplicated
by any means?
Yes,
Living Forever in Paradise
for the Many will be
the happiest of occasions
with receiving back loved ones deceased and abundant peace
without poverty, food shortages, sickness, death, and disease.
This is what the Creator and his Son the 'master-worker' had originally designed for perfect humanity.
So,
the first full moon
after the beginning of Spring
lands this year tonight,
March 31, 2018.
What joy for many this evening to convene
with like-minded appreciative ones
thankful for Christ's offering.
You are invited!* . . . We hope to see there.
Gratitude: To Bring.
