Let's Pitch Out The Past

“Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.” Matt 26:13

I hope you were properly memorialized yesterday. If not, go back and die again, let's get that memorializing done right! Yes, Memorial Day was yesterday, that day when we as a nation memorialize those who gave their lives in the service of this nation.

Why do we keep a memory of the past by observing a holy day? Well, it may well be because our Lord commanded it. In 25 verses of the Bible, memorial comes up as something for us to solemnly remember. Holidays, offerings, lamps, and the memory of acts done in service to our Lord are all memorialized in the Bible. Of course, the Bible itself is a memorial to lives and actions gone by in the Lord's service. Memorials are important to the Lord; therefore, no, we will not just pitch out the past!

Christmas and Easter are two of our most important memorials. One for our Lord's birth and one for His death and resurrection. One day, we are going to have another memorial to celebrate for all the ages - the day of our Lord's return! Right now we can recall in fond memory the anointing of our Lord's body by the lovely woman who gave so much to prepare Him for burial. Right now, all of our good works done in the Lord's service are being memorialized in Heaven. There are great works of the Lord to remember, so let us not pitch out the past just yet.

Have a great day in Christ Jesus!
