When Yahweh rescued the Hebrew slaves from Egypt through the intervention which we know as the LORD'S passover, he did not wish it to be merely a once-for all event but also one which through "repetition" would be effective and bear fruit in succeeding generations. This is brought about by the use of memory . . . . . . . . .

Son of the Father Grace , mercy and peace will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and in love'
2nd JOHN verse 3 N.K.J.V. |
"This day is to be a day of remembrance for you, and you must celebrate it as a feast in Yahweh's honour. For all generations you are to declare it a day of festival, for ever.
EXODUS 12 : 14 |
. . . . . .by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh on account of sin:
He condemned sin in the flesh. ROMANS 8 : 3 N.K.J.V. Son of God Huios tou Theou |
The bringing to mind of the passover and the whole Exodus event is not just a pious, nostalgic, backward-looking exercise, but a making present of that event,
applying it's power to the present generation. The Lord is truly present to his people in the act of remembrance and delivers them from their present slavery (to sin and to other evils). This is what is meant by anamnesis . |
"You are the Christ,
the Son of the living God" MATTHEW 16 : 16 The difference between believers as children (tekna) of God and Sons (huioi) is brought out in Roman |

"Father we celebrate the memory of Christ, your Son. We your people and your ministers, recall his passion, his resurrection from the dead, and his asscension into glory" Eucharistic Prayer 1. |
Tekna refers to those who were born of God and
huioi refers to those who show maturity acting as sons tekna is used of new believers not huioi. The expression " Son of God " ( huios Theou ) is used of Jesus as a manifestation of His relationship with the Father |
Through this making present of Christ's paschal mystery we are able personally and profoundly to enter into it, we have a holy and perfect sacrifice to offer, and by receiving Christ's body and blood we are filled with every grace and blessing.

This remembrance takes place in the most solemn way each Easter at the highpoint of that repetitive cycle we call the liturgical year; but every eucharistic liturgy inserts us more deeply into the mystery , making us one with Him who died
to destroy our death and rose to restore our life. We are fulfilling the LORD'S command ; " Do this in remembrance of me " LUKE 22 : 19 |
the Son of His LoveHe has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us
into the kingdom of the Son of His Love. COLOSSIANS 1:13 |
