Sermon from Maundy Thursday, April 1, 2021. Exodus 12:1-4, 11-14; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26. Pastor Bryant Anderson preaching. It is an odd thing that the Passover meal memorializes the moment before Israel's liberation, rather than the celebration after its completion. It is equally odd that the Christian sacrament of Communion memorializes the darkness of Holy Week, rather than the victory of Easter. But life is lived on this side of triumph, and we need to be trained to remember that God is with us even as we wait for the celebration to come.
