When Jesus sat down to celebrate the passover with his disciples, they were focused on the LORD's past provision. Jesus took this celebration and turned it's attention away from God's provision of salvation in the past and redirected it to celebrate the act of salvation that was fast approaching.When we take communion we need to remember that it is a celebration, not a funeral. The funny thing is that Jesus on repeat tells us what the purpose of communion is and we so easily and often miss it.
