As followers of Christ we are to keep our minds, our focus and our motives on the LORD God and His words.  The living God is the Triune God: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, three Persons – yet, one God.

What happens when we begin to lose our focus on who God IS?
We become in tune with the world, with those who are without the Lord Jesus Christ in their lives as their Savior.
Then we lead people astray who are seeking truth!

God said to the Israelites and He is saying to any who listen today… “Remember this day…”
Remember the day I led you out of Egypt and out of slavery.
Remember the day when I led you into freedom!

The LORD God emphasized “Remember” to the sons of Israel.  True, He led them out of the bondage of slavery into freedom.  It is also true He led them to His Son.

Remember the LORD God gave His only begotten Son for… you!
(NASB) John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”

Remember on that long ago night, when the sons of Israel left Egypt, God was leading them.  He also told them:
(NASB) Exodus 13:2 “Sanctify to Me every firstborn, the first offspring of every womb among the sons of Israel, both man and beast; it belongs to Me.”

Remember the Lord Jesus was sanctified, set apart to God, from the moment of conception by the Holy Spirit with Mary (Luke 1:35).

The baby Lord Jesus was sanctified by the ritual of Mary and Joseph (the legal father of baby Jesus) in the temple in Jerusalem (Luke 2:22-24).

Remember our focus is to be on Who God IS!
(NASB) Deuteronomy 6:4-5 “Hear, O Israel!  The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!
5 ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.”

~ Take it to heart ~

“Remember this day…”

Remember…
when God led you out of slavery into freedom, child of God.
