Paul's Passover

Saturday, March 13, 2021

The children of Israel were told to celebrate Passover every year, so that they would never forget how the Lord had saved them out of Egypt. Paul was at the end of his life. He had once opposed the gospel but his life as an enemy of God was long over. He had been in the Lord for decades, known throughout the world as a saint. Paul, at the end of his life, tells the story of getting saved as if it were yesterday. He calls himself, not the greatest of saints, but the greatest of sinners. He remembered how God took him out of darkness and into His marvelous light... as if it were yesterday. If you want to get to the Promised Land, you must never stop thanking God for taking you out of Egypt. Simon Peter wrote that those who aren't godly or increasing in godliness, are those who have forgotten their salvation. Don't forget to remember to thank the Lord for all He saved you from. Give thanks to the Lord for saving you out of Egypt and one day, you'll give thanks to the Lord for bringing you into the Promised Land.
