  1. Exodus 12:14 (NKJV) 14 ‘So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance.

  2. Tomorrow, our country will celebrate a holiday known as Memorial Day. This day is set aside to remember those who fought so valiantly to defend our country and the freedoms that you and I enjoy!

  3. Some use it simply as just a day off work, a day to relax or grill out. Not for it’s purpose, but simply for their personal enjoyment.

  4. Today is our Memorial Day as well. It’s the day we remember Christ and His sacrifice (Lk. 22:19; Acts 20:7)

  5. Sadly, some view it as nothing more than another day off of work

  6. What should we remember on this Memorial Day, as well as every day of the week?

  7. Memorial Day • 1. Remember the day of your salvation • God wanted the children of Israel to remember their salvation from the hands of Egyptian bondage • Ex. 13:3,9 • Deut. 5:15; 15:15 • When we remember, we appreciate

  8. Eph. 2:11-13 – We need to remember that we were once without Christ, but because of His blood, we who were far off have been brought near to Him

  9. Memorial Day • 2. Remember what God has done for us • In I Samuel 7, Samuel erected a stone and called it Ebenezer • That means “Stone of Help” • The Israelites had turned back to serve God only, and were being attacked by the Philistines

  10. Memorial Day • 2. Remember what God has done for us • God helped them that day, and Samuel said about the Ebenezer – “Thus far the Lord has helped us” • It was important for Israel to recognize God’s hand in their lives • It’s equally as important for us to recognize that as well

  11. Memorial Day • 2. Remember what God has done for us • Ps. 105:5 – “Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth” • Ps. 143:5 – “I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I muse on the work of Your hands.”

  12. Let’s remember all of God’s blessings and the answeredprayers so that “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.” (I Cor. 1:31)

  13. Memorial Day • 3. Remember the forefathers of the faith • Ex. 32:13 – Moses told the COI to remember those such as Abraham, Isaac, and Israel (Jacob) • They were to remember the promise that came to them and the responsibility they have to continue in the Lord

  15. Memorial Day • 4. Remember God’s will for your life • Num. 15:40 – “and that you may remember and do all My commandments, and be holy for your God.” • Why did God say that? • Back up one verse to verse 39…

  16. Memorial Day • 4. Remember God’s will for your life • God knows that we are inclined to forget, but also to follow after our own desires and heart • Christ wants us all to remember His words (Jn. 15:20; 16:4) • Therefore we may live by them

  17. Above all, we should remember the one who was willing to sacrifice His life and die for us!
