- We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his power and his mighty wonders. For he issued his laws to Jacob; he gave his instructions to Israel. He commanded our ancestors to teach them to their children, so the next generation might know them— even the children not yet born— and they in turn will teach their own children. So each generation should set its hope anew on God, not forgetting his glorious miracles and obeying his commands. (Psalm 78:4-7)
- He took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying,“This is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me.” (Luke 22:19)
- Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture, will thank you forever and ever, praising your greatness from generation to generation. (Psalm 79:13)
...when Jesus instructs his followers during that last supper together saying “this is my body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me” he is not calling them to bittersweet yearnings, or simply to remember events lived long ago (Luke 22:19). Rather, he is calling them to live into the way of the Cross and the way of resurrection, to remember Jesus in such a way that shapes all their living to come. That is, he is calling them--and us--to remember forward. Are we living in ways that both demonstrate a willingness to die to ourselves and reveal the new life we now have as a result of the resurrection? As we remember and re-tell the story, are we helping others to experience life in this way? Remembering the death and resurrection of Jesus, we give our lives contour and context not only for our generation, but for generations to come.
