• Maybe where you put your car keys
• Or your wallet or purse
• All of us have forgotten things
• Because we are a forgetful people

DI D YOU KNOW THAT GOD FORGETS, TOO?

• Peter said God ‘knows all things’
• John said He was an “all knowing” God
• But there is one thing He forgets

GOD FORGETS YOUR SINS

• The ‘All-Knowing’ becomes
• The ‘All Forgiving’ and the ‘All Forgetting’
• And He expects us to forget them, too

BUT AS MUCH AS HE WANTS US TO FORGET

• He also wants us to remember
• To remember what He did for us

1 CORINTHIANS 11:24-25 tells us

‘On the night He was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took the bread and when He had given thanks for it, He broke it, offering it to each disciple saying, “This is my body, which is for you – do this in remembrance of me.  

‘In the same way after supper, he took the cup saying, “This cup is the new promise in my blood – do this whenever you drink it – in remembrance of me.’

BUT I THINK

• There is something else we must remember –
• We must remember WHY He gave Himself up.
• He did that because He loves us

WHAT AN EXPERIENCE HE OFFERS US

• The forgetfulness of forgiveness
• And the greatest love we will ever know

LET US PRAY

Father, we come before you at this time of Communion, to remember what Your Son did for us.  And Father, we ask that you direct our hearts, our focus, and our lives – to put away those things in this world so that we might walk after Him.  In Jesus’ name we pray … Amen.
