Broken BreadDaily Devotions from the Daily Lightby Evan HopkinsJune 2Thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover.--Exod. 12:11"It is the LORD's passover." These are very emphatic words. They seem to say, "This is no common meal; it is not even an ordinary sacraficial repast. The lamb is Jehovah's. It is His pass-sign --the mark of His protection-- the means of your preservation. In this light then regard it, and though ye eat in haste, eat it with reverence." And if this is true of the type, what shall we say of the Anti-type? With what solemn thankfulness and devout reverence should we contemplate that sacrafice of which the Lord's Supper is a commemoration and a sign! The passover was a feast for the Lord's people who were under the shelter of the blood. So the Lord's supper is a feast intended for those who are covered by the atoning merits of Jesus Christ. We have to remember, too, that as yet we are but pilgrims; and so we have to eat it with our loins girded, and in an attitude of readiness for the Master's summons. The passover was a feast that looked foreward to the true Lamb of God. The Lord's Supper is a feast that looks back to the same great central fact.
Rev. 22:20-21
