Exodus 15:1-21 Called To Remember
“ [Exodus 15:1-21] is a song of victory to Yahweh (v. 1) and about Yahweh; it is a response to what he has done...Built into Scripture is the notion that the song should be repeated... We have, in other words, a reminder of the liturgical and ritualistic function of the song . It is a repeated celebration of God’s deliverance, of which God’s people must be reminded constantly. - Peter Enns, The NIV Application Commentary (emphasis mine)

Remembrance #1: Jesus is a warrior on his people’s behalf
1 Corinthians 15:3-5, 57 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve...57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Remembrance #2: Jesus’ victory is complete and final
1 Corinthians 15:24-27 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For he “has put everything under his feet.”
Remembrance #3: Jesus leads his people to dwell with him
1 Corinthians 15:20-22 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
Called to remember: Tuning our hearts toward Christ
“ Lord, you have taken the fear of death away from us. The end of our life here you have made the beginning of true life. For a little while you will let our bodies rest in sleep, and then with the last trumpet you will wake them from their sleep...When you shattered the gates of hell and trampled the devil, death’s lord, beneath your feet, you cleared the way for our resurrection. - St. Macrina the Younger
“ To us who fear you, you gave a sign, the sign of your holy cross, to destroy the enemy and infuse new vigor into our lives. - St. Macrina the Younger
