Luke 22-24
*Click here to read this passage:
Before the start of the year when I was looking through the Bible
and making my reading plan, I purposely planned for the chapters at the end of
each gospel about Jesus’ death and resurrection to be by themselves … not
paired with a Proverb for the day or any other chapters from the book that were
not a part of that story.
I did this because I know how important it is to stop and remember
what He did for us, and not just on Easter, but often. I'm also aware that when you know the
details of what happened and have heard it your whole life, it is easy to
become somewhat desensitized or detached from the story. And His sacrifice and His resurrection
mean everything! As the apostle
Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15, “If Christ has not been raised, your faith is
futile; you are still in your sins.”
It is vital to remember.
That is why Jesus at the last supper with his disciples said, “Do this
in remembrance of me” when He said the bread was His body broken for us and the
wine was His blood shed for us. After
Jesus was resurrected and the disciples were confused, some of them didn’t even
recognize Jesus until the moment He broke bread with them. Then they remembered
and their eyes were opened.
Taking time today to remember and to praise Him.
