MAY I NEVER FORGET
Today's reading: 1 Kings 8-9

"And though this Temple is impressive now, it will become an appalling sight for all who pass by. They will scoff and ask, Why did the Lord do such terrible things to his land and to his Temple! And the answer will be, Because his people forgot the Lord their God, who brought their ancestors out of Egypt, and they worshiped other gods instead. That is why the Lord has brought all these disasters upon them." 1 Kings 9:8-9 NLT

Our pastors have gone to great lengths in this shelter at home period to provide us with at-home communions packs for today's livestream service.

Their hopes are that we don't forget.

Don't forget God's gift of Jesus.

That we don't forget Jesus' perfect life.

That we don't forget Jesus' choice to go to the cross for our sins.

His pain and death.

And most importantly, this beautiful Easter morning, His resurrection and life!

It would be easy to forget amidst this pandemonium. Among this chaos. This fear. This unknown. This discombobulation of our normal lives.

But the body who chooses to remember will choose to live.

I choose to remember today.

Jesus is alive!
