Memory is a wonderful thing. Today we remember our fathers. As we spend time with our fathers, make your memories good ones worth remembering. Our Father in heaven does not forget us. He knows each of us by name. God's memory is perfect. Ours, on the other hand is not.
It is a shame when memories fade. There was a movie 2004 called the Notebook. An elderly man went daily to a nursing home where he would read to his wife the story of there love that she wrote down in a notebook before succumbing to Alzheimer's disease. As he would read the journal entries, she would remember how they met and how they fell in love and she would remember that she was his bride. The words would stir memories and once again she would re-live the life that had slipped away from her.
God wants us to remember his love for us. He wrote us a notebook, the Bible; 66 love letters from our Father so we might remember God's strength, his desire for relationship with us, his promise of eternity, and the sacrifice he made to wash away our sins.
God provides us with a journal to assist us in remembering this sacrifice.
Before His death, He commanded His disciples to partake of the supper in His remembrance. (Matthew 26.26-28; “And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, 'Take, eat; this is My body.' And He took the cup, and gave thanks and gave it to them, saying, 'Drink ye all of it; for this is My blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” All the four gospels give the same account, and in Luke 22.19, Jesus said, “This do in remembrance of me.”
This is the time we here at Blue Springs Christian Church take time to partake in that supper.
