It's not Easter yet - It's still Saturday.
Abraham was the father of Isaac. The sons of Isaac: Esau and Israel. I Chronicles 1:34 NIV
In the story of the passion week - Saturday is a day of waiting - A day of remembering - a day of mourning.
It seems fitting then that we read a list of descendants - a family history leading up to David.
As we read some of the names, stories come to mind.
As families gather to celebrate Easter, some people will not be present - stories will be told - they will be remembered.
Our past is important to us. Our past tells us where we came from and tells the story of who we are today.
The cool thing about our past with God . . . is that it doesn't matter.
So as we wait for Easter morning, allow me to invite you to remember . . .
Remember who you are, remember all that you have learned, remember you past mistakes.
And then . . . remember that you belong to God.
Remember that you have no past . . . just a glorious promised future.
And wait . . . for tomorrow is Easter.
