12 How Often Should We Partake of the Lord·s Supper?
"at meat," eating a meal, He broke bread and blessed it
(Luke 24:30).
They then used a kind of bread such as is used in
many European countries today, and instead of slicing,
they broke it. "Break bread" was a common term to
indicate eating a meal.
Let us return to the faith once delivered. Let us hum–
bly and obediently observe this solemn, sacred ordinance
as we are commanded, and at the time set apart in the
Bible, after sundown on the 14th of Abib, or Nisan, sacred
Hebrew calendar.
The first day of the new year begins near the spring
equinox when the new moon usually is first visible to the
naked eye at Jerusalem (not the United States). The
Jewish calendar as used by Jews today is correct. But it
must be remembered that "in the 14th day of the first
month at even is the passover, and in the 15th day of the
same month is the
feast."
The Jewish people no longer
observe the Passover on the 14th. They observe the
FEAST -
one night
after
the Passover, on the eve of
15th Abib. The "Lord's supper" or New Testament Pass–
over should be observed after sunset on the evening
before
the Jewish people of today celebrate their feast.
