Passover Explains Communion
Duane Bemis
Exodus 12 and Matthew 26
Let us embark upon another journey into God's Word to find His answer about the Lord's Table, or about the giving of the wine and the bread at communion. As I studied this sanctioned sacrament, the Lord said it is all about "Passover." I then opened my Bible to the Gospel of Matthew and read:
