Why? because we forget both little things and big things
1. Disciples forgot while they were at the table -
v24 - Conversations they have had at the passover table:
Peter: Remember when walking on water
Thomas: But you doubted and fell into the water
Peter: Like you have any room to talk, doubting Thomas
James: Remember the transfiguration? Yeah, I was one of three disciples there. We saw Moses and Elijah.
Andrew: Yeah, you seem to miss the whole point when you fixated on getting them shelters
Matthew: We can take these guys anywhere
They had this lesson before (how many times?)
2. Peter forgot the very same day the very same day and denied Jesus
v54 - He forgot that Jesus said and he had the power to raise the dead
I can relate:
Forgetting to the trash and why I was in the garage
Forgetting Juniper's shoes on the way to church
If I can not remember the little things within the same few minutes, or hours - we need this time of communion
Our forgetfulness is not a reflection of its importance but a reflection our weakness in remembering Key Phrase:Our forgetfulness is not a reflection of its importance but a reflection our weakness in remembering
