Do this often...to shew the Lord's death till he come

I use this time as well as many others throughout the year to teach my children that we ought not entrench ourselves in man-made traditions which tend to diminish or completely change God’s original intent.

What I mean is that many tend to think that this is the one time of year that we should set aside to remember Jesus’ death and resurrection. Paul told us to do it often and in the form of communion such as what Jesus did with his disciples the night in which He was betrayed.

I cover the following verses with my children on this and many other days throughout the year so we can “shew the Lord’s death till he come”.

For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 1 Corinthians 11:23-28

Also, we  give no heed to the ungodly pagan rituals that have been "adopted" into so-called Christian worship (egg, bunny, etc). Haggai the prophet was told by God that we cannot take what is unclean and incorporate it what is good and thus call it good. The unclean will always corrupt the holy. 

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying, 

If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.  Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.  Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.  Haggai 2:11-14
