To remember that Hashem chose us to become His first born.
19- Do not eat Chomets on Pesach. This is our annual reminder of who we are & what we became.
20- Do not even keep Chomets around in your property on Pesach.
21- Tell the story of the redemption on Pesach nite. To remember all of the miracles & that Hashem is in control to run His world as He sees fit.
22 - A first born donkey should be redeemed with a sheep that is given to a Cohen. To remember that when Hashem saved us from Egypt He provided every Jew with many donkeys loaded with gold & silver.
23 - If the person fails to redeem the donkey it is put to death in a specific way.
This teaches us that if one refuses to do Mitzvos he will lose out. By doing one will always gain sooner or later.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.
