Memorial Date

After Sundown


Friday, April 3


​

Keep doing this in remembrance of me.

—1 Cor. 11:24.


​

‘With the clouds gone, we can see the crescent of the moon.
That means the start of a new month, Nisan.

Certainly, Jesus will want to head for Jerusalem in order to arrive before the Passover.’

We can imagine such thoughts coming to the mind of some who were with Jesus in
Perea (across the Jordan) on his final trip to Jerusalem.

(Matt. 19:1; 20:17, 29; Mark 10:1, 32, 46)

Once the first day of the Jewish month Nisan was determined, the Passover
would be held 13 days later, after sunset on Nisan 14.

Today is the date of the Lord’s Evening Meal, which corresponds to the date of the Passover.


—1 Cor. 11:23-25.
