Today's readings are Psalm 128, Numbers 22.1-20, and Luke 22.1-23.
There's a lot of talk in today's readings about remembering things. We remember the Lord who grants us increase and prosperity. We remember that our God is so mighty even the pagan prophet Balaam promised to say only what God commanded him. And we remember Christ's body broken for us and his blood shed for us, a new covenant in which he atones for our sins, no matter how terrible a sinner we might be. We see that among the first communicants was Judas who in his sin went and betrayed Jesus. And we remember in communion that we are also sinners who daily betray our Lord.
Whenever God talks about his own remembering, he remembers in the sense that he comes and accomplishes something by his remembrance. May we be blessed to remember our Lord and be moved to repentance and reception of his forgiving love.
