Understand part 1 before part 2
A number of years ago, my mother came to visit with us for several days. I thought she might like a particular movie, so I rented it. After thirty minutes of watching the movie, my mom said, “I’m sorry, but I just don’t understand this movie at all.”
I picked up the video case and realized I had mistakenly rented part 2, the sequel to the movie, instead of the original movie, part 1. She couldn’t understand part 2 because she hadn’t seen part 1.
In same way, we can’t comprehend Part 2 (the Lord’s Supper) until we first understand Part 1 (the Passover Feast). The Old Covenant is part 1. They killed a Passover Lamb and ate the Feast of Unleavened Bread to remember their deliverance from
Jesus ended Part 1 and replaced it with Part 2.
The New Covenant is part 2. Jesus became the Passover Lamb (1 Cor. 5:7). We are to partake of the Lord’s Supper to remember our deliverance from our sins.
