The Importance of Celebrating Easter

For many years now, my favorite passage of Scripture has been Psalm 103. God frequently uses the first five verses of this chapter to reorient my heart and remind me of His faithful love. David’s words in this Psalm are penned to his very own soul, and his direction in verse 2 is simple: “My soul, bless the Lord, and do not forget all his benefits” (CSB).

How easy it is to forget all that God has done for us. We are fragile and finite beings with a tendency to be distracted and discouraged. I’m afraid it doesn’t take much to entice our focus and affection from Jesus.

The Lord knows this about us, and that’s why over and over in Scripture, He instructs us to remember. Remember who God is and what He has done. Remember His faithfulness for all the generations that have come before. Remember His faithfulness in our very own lives. Like David’s example in Psalm 103, it’s important for us to intentionally preach to our own souls the goodness of the gospel and the greatness of our God. Remembrance is a vital aspect of what it means to follow Jesus.
