Jeff and Mim discuss the idea of remembering from the angle of forgetting. We forget when we fail to recall, think about, or longer heed something. We forget the Lord when we no longer seek his counsel in his word, no longer remember his past love or mercy, and no longer seek to please him or heed to his commands. We also forget that nothing in this world truly satisfies — only in Jesus Christ is true salvation and abundant life. Mim remembers her conversation with our grand-daughter, who asked, Is God a real person? What did John see in his vision? Jesus is the word of God incarnate in the flesh and has made God known to us. Jeff recalls 1 John 2:16 "All that is in the world — the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life — is not from the Father but is from the world.” If we are to love God, we need to love set our minds upon Christ. Missions is also helping people to remember Christ. Maybe they were raised in a Christian home but have wandered away. As believers, we help people remember the true source of life — Jesus. .
Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like me.
Isaiah 46:9
"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.
Revelation 1:8
Everlasting God, how amazing that you care for one so small as me! My earthly life is short, yet you invite me into eternity. When I am in awe of your grandeur, you remind me that your greatest gift is love. Living, forgiving God, there is no one like you. Let me tell the story of your love today. Amen.
