CALLING TO REMEMBRANCE THE FORMER TIMES Hebrews 10:32-39 (Preached at the morning service of Walsham Le Willows Evangelical Congregation Church) Looking back upon former days in our lives is a divine injunction. It is something that God constantly calls His people to do. Of course, we have need of such calls for we are so forgetful. This is especially true of the good and the blessed things we have experienced, Matt 16:5-10. What is it God would have us remember? "And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no," Deuteronomy 8:2. All of God's dealings with us are worthy of recall. Here in the passage before us, it is a call to remember the days at the beginning of the pilgrimage of the Hebrew Christians. Nothing counters the problem of "forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is" (Hebrews 10:25) than a remembering of God's blessing in former times.
