Hello everyone, welcome to Follow Him Favorites. My name is Hank Smith. I'm the host of a podcast called Follow Him.

I'm here with my incredible co-host, John, by the way. Welcome, John.

Hank.

Follow Him Favorites this year. We take a question from this week's lesson.

We're in Exodus chapters 7 through 13.

This week, John, we're going to focus in on chapter 12 for our question.

The question is this. Let me frame it. The Lord institutes what's called the Passover, right?

This very first Passover.

Now, fast forward, a couple of thousand years later, Jesus has what we would call the last supper,

or the last Passover, in which He makes a change. The Passover is no longer about the children of Israel coming out of Egypt.

It's now about Him and His blood and body.

So we're going to make a connection here, John, with our question.

How can I make our weekly Passover our sacrament? The experience God means for it to be,

because maybe the sacrament comes and goes and I didn't feel anything or didn't think anything.

It wasn't powerful or reflective at all. So how would you say, how do I make my weekly Passover experience,

which we call the sacrament, something that has more impact?

This is one of my favorite topics, because I'm just kind of intrigued with things that the Lord has us repeat.

And it's not a Christmas and Easter thing. And after the pandemic, when so many of us missed our weekly worship,

but the sacrament, to me, it is the most merciful thing to think that the Lord would say,

come back every single week and take the sacrament.

So for me, the thing I look forward to is, as I understand the doctrine,

when we're partaking of the sacrament, worthily, it's like we are being baptized again, renewing our covenants.
