What Does It Mean?

Read Exodus 12:21–27

As Roger took the juice and bread from the plate, his daughter leaned over. “Dad, why do you and Mom do this?” Roger smiled. He knew she would ask that question some day.

And when your children ask you, “What does this ceremony mean to you?” then tell them, “It is the Passover sacrifice to the Lord, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt and spared our homes when he struck down the Egyptians.” Then the people bowed down and worshiped. (Exodus 12:26,27).

God expects every Christian to have an answer for questions about the faith (1 Peter 3:15). These answers are especially important when passing on the faith to the next generation. If it isn’t passed on, it will die out. And if their questions aren’t answered well, they may leave the faith later.

When the next generation asks about Communion, tell them it reminds you of what Jesus did at the Cross, how His body was broken and His blood poured out. Give them the meaning and give them faith.

Prayer Suggestion: God, help me give good answers when others ask me about You.
