Devotion:
Read Luke 22:14-19.
One of the core lessons of the Bible is an encouragement to remember. As God was bringing the Children of Israel out of Egypt, they were encouraged to remember that event for the rest of their lives and throughout all of their generations. They were instructed to eat an annual meal to remember the Exodus. Later, as they were about to enter the promised land, God cautioned them about forgetting who brought them there and gave them this land.
As Jesus was sharing the annual Passover meal with his disciples, he took elements of the meal and invited them to regularly share a new meal by which they were to remember him. As his people today, we still remember him and experience him again in that meal, hearing him say “This my body and this is my blood, given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
Keeping connected to God’s power means keeping certain things in mind. Remember who you are and who gave you the life you have. Remember who continues to give you a path to life with God forever. Remember and give thanks.
