Over the past couple days I've seen so many good posts reminding us of all Jesus has done for us. It makes me a little sad because God doesn't call on us to remember this for only one weekend each spring, but is kind enough to give us the Lord's supper to remember his crucifixion all through the year, and given us fifty two Lord's days to celebrate his resurrection each year! Let's remember and give thanks for what he has done all year round! #theLordwillgivewhatisgood #Heisrisen After sharing this post it really got me thinking. Growing up in the ultra reformed church I've always looked down on the celebrating of easter, and I still do believe that God calls us to celebrate it every Lord's day, and his death in every communion season rather than during just one weekend every spring. But this year I've found myself enjoying reading all the good posts about Christ's death and resurrection, and I realized how refreshing, encouraging, and convicting of sin it is to be reminded of these things. In the reformed church we tend to avoid talking about the incarnation and resurrection, by an unwritten rule I suppose, of trying to distance ourselves from what the world has turned those events of history into. I'm sure it makes Satan rejoice to see it. So now I am left wondering and praying about, what does it look like to remember what Christ has done all year round? How do I raise my children to love what He has done, but yet not embrace the wordly traditions? Praying for the Lord's help with this... |
