Whey They Ask
When the passover was instituted, it was instituted as a memorial of what God had done for Israel. God’s judgment fell upon Egypt and His judgment passed over Israel. The passover meal was a continual testimony to God’s favor upon Israel and this favor was to be communicated to the children. In Exodus 12:26 Moses writes, “When your children shall say unto you, ‘What mean ye by this service?’ That ye shall say, ‘It is the sacrifice of the LORD’s passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt.’”
This new covenant meal before us is a memorial. Our children partake and thanks be to God. As they do, remember that this meal is no substitute for your teaching but an aid to it. Your words to them of what this meal means should be added to their eating and drinking. Tell your little ones what we are doing here. Remind them that this bread is the body of Christ broken for us. This wine is His blood shed for us. His judgment has passed over us and He has looked upon us with favor. You are a busy congregation so ensure that in the hustle of life, you are turning your hearts and your faces toward your children and speaking to them of the wonderful works of God. So come in faith and welcome to Jesus Christ.
