God told Moses that on this night He was going to send a destroying angel through the land of Egypt, and that the firstborn of all the Egyptians and of every living thing was to be destroyed, as a great judgment. But God had provided "a way of escape" for the Children of Israel. He told them to take a lamb for each of their households, and to kill it and roast it and eat it that night in all their houses. God told them that when they killed that lamb they were to save its blood in a basin, and take a bunch of hyssop and sprinkle that blood upon the lintel and on the side-posts of their doors; and He promised that if they did this, He would not allow the destroying angel to come near that house, and they would be perfectly safe. God said, "When I see the blood I will pass over you." And this was why it was called "The Pass-over." [Illustration: THIS DO IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME.] So during that night there was a dreadful cry in the land of Egypt, for in every house, where the blood had not been sprinkled, there was one lying dead! The Egyptians were so terrified that they thrust out the Children of Israel—they and all their little ones escaped right out of the land of Egypt for ever! And this is why, the night before our Lord was crucified for us—the Lamb of God Who taketh away the sin of the world—He gathered His twelve disciples together, and sat down to eat that Feast with them in the upper room. Jesus told them that, with great desire, He had desired to eat this Passover with them. He knew that to-morrow He would die. And as they were eating, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and told them that one of them would betray Him. Close to His side, leaning on His bosom, was the disciple whom Jesus loved; and Peter beckoned to him to ask the Lord who it would be who should betray Him? So John, lying on Jesus' breast, whispered, "Who is it, Lord?" And Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I give a sop when I have dipped it." And he gave the sop to Judas Iscariot. And as they were eating, Jesus "took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them saying, 'This is My Body, which is given for you: this do in remembrance of Me.' Likewise also the cup, after supper, saying, 'This cup is the new testament in My Blood, which is shed for you.'" St. Paul says, "Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us, therefore let us keep the Feast." And from that Last Supper before His death, till now, nearly for two thousand years, in one unbroken chain, week by week, those who love Christ have partaken of this Holy Feast, in remembrance of Him, till He shall come back again.
