“By Way of Remembrance”
God promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that all nations of the earth would be blessed through their seed (Gen. 12:3; 26:4; 28:14). God foretold of a time their descendants would be in captivity, but He assured that they would “come out with great substance” (Gen. 15:13-14).
In Exodus 2, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob’s descendants were in Egyptian bondage, and “God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them” (verses 24-25).
Upon remembering, God led the Israelites out of bondage. God exhorted the Israelites to remember Him, as He remembered them. He instituted the Passover to remind them of what He had done for them (Exod. 12).
While the Israelites were to observe the Passover to remember God, Christians observe the Lord’s Supper to remember Christ (1 Cor. 11:24-25).
More generally, Christians should remember God’s will throughout our lives.
As Peter wrote to Christians, he wrote to “stir up [their] pure minds by way of remembrance” (2 Pet. 3:1).
The Israelites who left Egypt forgot God (Exod. 16:3; 17:3; Numb. 14:2). May we never lose sight of who our Creator, Master, and Savior is, but constantly pray, study, and think on God’s Word, remembering Christ and His will for us.
