Memorial of Christs Death
26 Mar '10 01:331 edit(Luke 22:19-20) . . .Also, he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: “This means my body which is to be given in your behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” Also, the cup in the same way after they had the evening meal, he saying: “This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood, which is to be poured out in your behalf.
The forthcoming date of Tuesday, 30th of march, 2010 after sundown, corresponds to the Jewish month on Nisan the fourteenth, the very evening in which Christ would have celebrated the passover as prescribed by the law and then institute this very special occasion of the Lords evening meal, giving his life for the redemption of mankind.
Dear friends you are warmly invited to any Kingdom Hall of Jehovahs Witnesses, throughout the earth, to observe this very ancient yet significant occasion, a celebration if you like, of the life and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, cleansing our consciences of the burden of sin and guilt and making a relationship with the most high possible.
Consider what others have stated about our exemplar.
“Jesus of Nazareth . . . is easily the dominant figure in history.”—H. G. Wells, English historian.
“Christ stands . . . solitary and alone among all the heroes of history.”—Philip Schaff, Swiss-born theologian and historian
“It would require much exotic calculation, however, to deny that the single most powerful figure—not merely in these two millenniums but in all human history—has been Jesus of Nazareth.”—Reynolds Price, American writer and Bible scholar.
“A man who was completely innocent offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.”—Mohandas K. Gandhi, political and spiritual leader of India.
“As a child, I received instruction both in the Bible and in the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene.”—Albert Einstein, German-born scientist.
“Jesus Christ, to me, is the outstanding personality of all time, all history, both as Son of God and as Son of Man. Everything He ever said or did has value for us today, and that is something you can say of no other man, alive or dead.”—Sholem Asch, Polish-born essayist as quoted in Christian Herald; italics theirs.
“For thirty five years of my life I was, in the proper acceptation of the word, nihilist, a man who believed in nothing. Five years ago my faith came to me. I believed in the doctrine of Jesus Christ and my whole life underwent a sudden transformation.”—Count Leo Tolstoy, Russian novelist and philosopher.
“[Jesus’] life is the most influential ever lived on this planet and its effect continues to mount.”—Kenneth Scott Latourette, American historian and author.
“Shall we suppose the evangelic history a mere fiction? Indeed, my friend, it bears not the marks of fiction. On the contrary, the history of Socrates, which nobody presumes to doubt, is not so well attested as that of Jesus Christ.”—Jean-Jacques Rousseau, French philosopher.
Please be assured this is a happy but dignified occasion and anyone who wishes to observe is most welcome. To myself and Galvo these are the most significant days of our year, the most sacred as we reflect upon the life and personage of the Christ, who through self sacrifice made 'all things possible'.
