Remembering things . . .

God is big on remembering. Old Testament festivals provide important background for many New Testament practices. The Last Supper was held on Passover (Matt. 26:17). The Holy Spirit descended upon the church at Pentecost (Acts 2). They were days for the Jews to remember and now for us as well. When we celebrate communion today, we remember what Christ has done and anticipate His second coming. It is why church attendance is so important!

The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”  In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”  For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. (1 Corinthians 11:23–26).

It is so important to remember what God has done . . . small things as well as the big ones. It helps us recall how He can get us through today's struggles and tomorrow's as well. 

Can you list at least three things God . . . and only God . . . has done for you lately?
