TRANSCRIPT
Joshua 4:4-7So Joshua called together the twelve
men he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe, and said to them, “Go over before the ark of the Lord your God into the
middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to take up a stone on his shoulder,
according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, to serve as a sign among you. In the future, when
your children ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?’ tell them that
the flow of the Jordan was cut off before the ark of the covenant of
the Lord. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan
were cut off. These stones are to be a memorial to the people of Israel
forever.”
Genesis 9:11-13I establish my covenant with
you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a
flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making
between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations
to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it
will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

1) The Feast of the Passover
Exodus 11:4-7So Moses said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘About
midnight I will go throughout Egypt. Every firstborn son in Egypt will die, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, to the firstborn
son of the female slave, who is at her hand mill, and all the firstborn of the cattle as well. There will be loud wailing throughout Egypt—worse than
there has ever been or ever will be again. But among the Israelites not a dog will bark at any
person or animal.’ Then you will know that the Lord makes a distinction between Egypt and
Israel.
Exodus 12:12-13, 22, 33“On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike
down every firstborn of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord.13 The blood will be a sign for you on the
houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you
when I strike Egypt.
22 Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood on the top and on
both sides of the doorframe. None of you shall go out of the door of your house until morning.
33 The Egyptians urged the people to hurry and leave the country. “For otherwise,” they said, “we will
all die!”
3) Meal of Remembrance
I Corinthians 11:26For whenever you eat this bread and drink this
cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
Jeremiah 31:31-34
I Corinthians 10:16-17 - Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a
participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is
one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all share the one loaf.
