As we marked this past Fourth of July weekend, Abe gave us two lessons on memorials from the Bible. He talked about the 12 stones that were taken from the Jordan River when the Israelites crossed into the promised land with Joshua on dry ground (Joshua 4). Specifically, how those stones were to be a memorial to the greatness of what God did to make the crossing of that flooded river possible.
Abe also discussed how the Lord’s supper, or communion, is a Christian’s memorial today (1 Corinthians 11:13-16). Both of these physical things were to take God’s people back to remember Him and what He did for us then, and now. While the crossing of the flooded Jordan was monumental, it pales before the greatness of Christ’s sacrifice and what communion with God is all about to Christians today.
