Plundering the Egyptians - Exodus 12:31-36

“Well, first of all, we're lucky because we start to realize that we can worship God with our history. In fact, every week here, we have communion. It's an act of remembering our history much like Passover. But then I start to think, if we can worship God with our communal history, can we worship God with our remembering our own personal history with God? Is there ways to remember what God has done in our life? Do we remember the day that God gave us that wife that we've been praying for and praying for and praying for it? Do we remember that? How do we remember that? Do we remember that God answers our prayers and he let us get into that school that we've wanted into so desperately? Do we remember that God granted us a son that we've been asking for a couple years? Do we remember that God saved us from our own life of death and sin? And how do we remember? I'm just hoping that somehow we can all find personal ways to remember the emancipation that God has done in our lives. The freedom that God has given to us.”
