Traditions that Help us Remember

God established traditions to help us remember what He did for us in the past and His promise for our future. Christian traditions set healthy habits and a rhythm of life that lead us to God. We can use tradition to teach our children and others.

Unfortunately, traditions can become routine or even elevated above God. Jesus pointed out to the religious leaders of His day that they were being led astray by traditions created by man. That they were breaking communion with God for the traditions of man. They were missing God in heaven and God in front of them on earth.

A healthy tradition should stir us to a deeper love of God. Tradition should lead us into worship of Jesus who gave His all for us even though we did not deserve His love.
