greetings sis REis et al,
THis "day" which is spoken of here as a memorial is the
"Passover". Though we are not commanded to observe times and seasons,
we who are blessed to live in this day of Gospel Revelation, rejoice in
HIM who is our MEMORIAL and PASSOVER. This is the Day, the last day,
wherein HE who is the AUTHOR and FINISHER of our FAITH, has come into
the world as our sin SUBSTITUTE. We remember HIM and cast off all other
hope. /"God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time
past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken
unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom
also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the
express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his
power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right
hand of the Majesty on high; Being made so much better than the angels,
as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they."
(Heb 1:1-4) /We rejoice in the blood of the everlasting covenant shed
for sinners.

Blessings mike

*"And this day shall be unto you for a memorial." Exodus 12:14*
*It is blessed to end the month, and end every day, as we would wish and desire to end life, blessing and praising God in Christ; rising from the table of divine bounties, and thanking the great Master of the feast. Pause, my soul, and see whether, in the past month, such hath been thine experience of sovereign grace and unmerited mercies, that thou canst now set up thine Ebenezer, and mark this day for a memorial.*
*What visits hath Jesus made to thee, my soul; and how hath thine heart been drawn out after him? Hath the Father, as well as the Son, come and made his abode with thee? Hath the Holy Ghost, the glorious inhabitant in the souls and bodies of his people, manifested his continued presence to thee? This day is indeed a memorial, if, in summing up the wonderful account of divine manifestations of divine love in providence and grace, during the month now nearly closed, and the years already passed, thou canst mark down the blessed enumeration.*
*And will not my Lord, while the day is not passed, and yet remains to be added to the month, will he not make it memorable by some renewed favour? Oh, for some new visits from Father, Son, and Spirit—this morning, this day, and ail the day!*
*As long as I live I would have my soul going forth in exercises of faith and love upon the person of Emanuel, that I may carefully mark down the numberless instances of it. Here, I would say, Jesus visited me; here it was he met me, here he shewed me his loves, and made the place and day ever memorable by his grace.*
*Robert Hawker (1753-1827)***
