Easter isn’t just a season — it’s the foundation of our faith. In this episode of More Than a Song, we use “Remembrance” by Hillsong Worship to explore why Christ’s death, burial, resurrection, and victory should stay at the forefront of our hearts all year long.
As we sing lyrics like “I’ll live my life in remembrance,” we’re invited to ask a deeper question: What does Scripture actually say about “Do this in remembrance of me”? In this episode, we follow that question straight into the Word, uncovering powerful connections between the Lord’s Supper, the Passover, and Jesus as our ultimate Passover Lamb.
Key Points
- Easter is not just a moment on the calendar but the core message of the gospel that deserves ongoing remembrance
- Of the four gospels, only Luke’s Gospel records Jesus’ exact words: “Do this in remembrance of me.”
- Reading the Last Supper accounts in context reveals details we often overlook
- Communion was instituted on the night Jesus was betrayed, showing His intentional obedience despite suffering
- The Lord’s Supper directly fulfills the Old Testament Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread
- Jesus is clearly identified in Scripture as our Passover Lamb, whose sacrifice permanently secures our eternal deliverance
