Worship is . . . about Remembering

Looking at Deut chapter 5, Moses gives the 10 commandments to the people

5:12-15
The command here for the Sabbath is to "remember" that He is the one who brought them up out of Egypt.


Looking at Luke chapter 22, Jesus instructs his disciples

22:19
Jesus says to "do in remembrance"


I'm amazed at the significance given to the activity of "Remembering"

Don Sailers in his book, Worship and Spirituality: Spirituality and the Christian Life

In worship, prayer, and the life of discipleship and godliness, remembering with the Scriptures over time and in all circumstances is precisely to turn in a new direction. We live, feel, intend, and understand the world differently because a shared biblical memory elicits emotions oriented toward the mystery of God. Entering the patterns of redemptive memory with the people of God is to risk conversion.

What is your response to what he calls "redemptive memory"?
