Genesis 29:1-35; Job 38:1-39:30; Matthew 15:29-16:12
He has made His wonderful works to be remembered. Ps. 111:4, NKJV
Throughout Scripture, God gives His people symbols to remember His wonderful works to them. Passover was instituted as a memorial reminding Israel how God delivered them out of Egypt (Ex. 12:14). Joshua was commanded to set up twelve stones taken out of the river Jordan to remind them how He brought them through on dry ground (Josh. 4:7). When we come to the New Testament, Jesus left His disciples, and us, symbols of bread and wine so we would never forget His wonderful work for us on the cross. “Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!” (Ps. 107:8). —E. V.
Here in the broken bread and wine,
We hear Thee say, “Remember Me!” —James G. Deck
