Verse from Exodus

“你们就要回答：‘这是献给耶和华逾越节的祭。耶和华击杀埃及人的时候，越过了在埃及的以色列人的房屋，救了我们的家。’”于是人民低头敬拜。”

‭‭出埃及记‬ ‭12:27‬ ‭

“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 ‭12:27‬ ‭

The Passover commemorates what God did for the Israelites when they were in Egypt, oppressed by Pharaoh and his crew (Exodus 1:6–14). After they cried out to God, He delivered the people in a mighty way. He told them to put blood on their doorposts so the death angel would “pass over” their firstborn people and animals (12:12–13). Then they would be kept safe from death. 

Centuries later, believers in Jesus regularly take communion as we remember His sacrifice on the cross—providing what we needed to be delivered from sin and death (1 Corinthians 11:23–26). Remembering God’s loving acts in the past gives us hope for today.
