{ILS} The Baker Paradox - If you meet someone named Baker, you're more likely to forget their name than if you met someone who is a baker.

  • {2} Great illustration of the flimsy memory of names of others
    • Exterior
  • Retention Interval - the time between when you learn a concept and then are tested on it 

  • Memory involves four processes: 

    • Attention - observing things through your senses

    • Encoding - selective, there are often too many things to take in

    • Storage - Memories have to be stored somewhere in the brain, so in order to do so, the brain biochemically alters itself 

    • Retrieval - when we remember past events, we reconstruct them with the aid of our memory traces—but also color them with our current belief of what happened. - Available vs Accessible


      • {SCR} Luke 24:1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! 


      {MPT} Why are you here?

      • Because they are faithful

        •  to their Savior - they want him to have the care and love he gave

        • to their faith tradition - they honored the Sabbath 

        • regardless of the hostility - leaders could want to wipe them out

        • Because they did not remember what Jesus said - three separate times

          • They have been traumatized 

          • In their tiny way, they want to take back part of that memory

            • {SCR} Luke 24:6 Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” 8 Then they remembered his words.


            {MPT} Yeah, we remember Galilee

            • We were taught in ways we have never heard

            • We were loved, healed, and fed

            • We were surrounded by people that were interested 

            • We never felt this way and knew it would never end


              • {SCR} Luke 24:9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. 11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. 12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.

              {MPT} If we don’t remember, we wonder

              • If the present has complete influence over us

                • If the discouraging things we experience

                • If the violent things we have seen

                • If the people we loved so dearly that influenced us are not present

                • Yet if we remember the incredible love that Jesus showed

                  • And the promises he made to his people
