534: "Remembrance” by Hillsong Worship

In episode 534 of 'More Than a Song,' host Michelle Nizat explores the theological depth behind Hillsong Worship's song 'Remembrance,' using it as a springboard to examine the biblical roots of the Lord's Supper. She emphasizes that Easter is not just a seasonal observance but a continual call to remember Christ’s sacrifice, death, and resurrection. Through a detailed analysis of the Last Supper across the four Gospels—especially Luke’s account, which uniquely includes Jesus’ words, 'Do this in remembrance of me'—she highlights the profound context of this moment: instituted on the night of betrayal, during the Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread. Drawing from Old Testament passages in Exodus and Leviticus, she traces how the Passover lamb, without blemish and whose blood protected the Israelites, foreshadows Christ as the ultimate, sinless sacrifice. She connects this to New Testament fulfillment in 1 Corinthians and John’s Gospel, where Christ’s unbroken bones and the symbolism of bread and wine point to His body and blood given for the forgiveness of sins. The episode calls listeners to deepen their engagement with Scripture by reading in context, following cross-references, and meditating on the full scope of redemption.
