Reenacting also enables young and old alike to remember. God encourages His people to remember by repeating important Kingdom events. God chose that the blood of the lamb placed on the lintel at Passover be remembered every year in order that when Jesus came as the perfect sacrifice all would recognize the story. The ordinance of Communion further memorializes the redemption of sin which Jesus won for us at The Cross of Calvary. God said, "And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons forever." I encourage parents to teach their children the wonderful stories from the Bible which will help them to understand the character and wonders of God, the divine, sacrificial life of His son, Jesus, and the acts of The Holy Spirit.
