Скачать или смотреть The Scripture Practice Session 04: Memorize

Memorization was a rich part of Jesus’ Jewish heritage and a practice of his followers through history. Though the practice may seem unnecessary in an era of unprecedented access to information, it’s nevertheless vital. Memorization helps us deeply absorb Scripture in our bodies and create, as pastor Ken Shigematsu calls it, an “inner library” that we can draw on throughout the day.

In John 16, Jesus promised his apprentices that the Holy Spirit would bring to remembrance his words. But to do that, we have to have Jesus’ words in our memory — a challenging effort, but one that offers deep rewards as we learn to anchor ourselves moment-by-moment in the words of God.
