We all do things that remind us of events in the past. We celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays such as Thanksgiving and even the 4th of July. Jesus instituted a celebration to remind us of his victory at Calvary. He told them, "When you do this, remember me." In one sense, there is a somberness to the celebration because it remembers his death. On the other hand, it can be mixed with joy for the celebration reminds us that we are free. Pastor Ken
