“Do this in remembrance of me.”
This past Sunday, we celebrated the Lord’s Supper. It was an opportunity to remember who we were before Christ, to remember what He did, and to remember the cross.
Throughout the book of Deuteronomy Moses says “Listen Israel” and “Remember.” Numerous times throughout Scripture the people of God are called to remember. Why are we called to remember so much? Because we are selfish and forgetful people. We are so easily distracted. Many times, we are even distracted by things that in and of themselves are good things: playing sports, studying to do well, working hard, spending time with friends and family. The problem is that these good things often times take precedence over growing in faith and even crowd God out of the picture. When this happens, these good things become little more than distractions. It’s easy to make time for what is important to you.
Today, take time to stop and remember who God is and what He has done. Remember when you accepted Him and called Him Lord. Is He still Lord? Remember that he called you to Him and He continues to do so. Check out some of the Scriptures (Here are a few to start with: Deuteronomy 4:20, Luke 24:6, Ephesians 2:12, Psalm 77:1) that talk about remembering and ask God to help you remember.
