Subject: Why worship on resurrection day? |
Bible Note: Point well taken. I did not spend near enough time on the last post and should have been more careful. I had to shovel snow from 4:30 am until 7 am and then had to wait to do Christmas Eve breakfast with my family. Soooo, I was tired and killing time reading the forum; but no excuse. Anyway, my reason behind the "this" referring to Passover, was when Jesus (not Paul) said, Luk 22:19 And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me." Luk 22:20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood. So the “Do this” would refer to what Jesus was actually doing at the time with the Bread and the Wine. And we know that the first church and Apostles also broke bread “in remembrance” on a regular bases, and not just during the Passover. But, I still think that Jesus may have been refereeing to both the “communion” sacrament, as well as the Passover. I will not stand firm on that since I do not have time to spend analyzing the Greek text right now, being that it is only 3 minutes from Christmas day and I will be shoveling snow again at 4:00 am and rushing home to be there before the kids wake up! Thanks for putting me in my place in such a humorous way. I certainly plan to study the liturgical year and have been planning to do so. Any good book or starting point would be appreciated. MJH |
