"This do in remembrance of me..." 1 Corinthians 11:24
Today is Memorial Day. It is the day that we remember those who gave of themselves on behalf of our great country - "The land of the free..." There are many families that lost loved ones on behalf of our freedoms. Our family lost our mother's brother, James Cooper, in Italy in World War II. Uncle James, we have not forgotten you. In the Christian faith, we have a "Memorial Day" called the "Lord's Supper" in remembrance of our Savior, Jesus. Jesus said as he gave the bread and the wine to His disciples: "This do in remembrance of me." I want to share three things that we should particularly remember: We should remember the love that brought Jesus from heaven to earth. John 3:16 tells us that "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." We can be saved and live eternally in heaven because of God's great love for ? We should remember the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross in order for us to be saved. Without the cross of Jesus, we would be doomed forever. We need to remember that it was for us, for our eternal benefit, that Jesus gave His life on the cross. Do you believe that Jesus died on the cross for you? This will really be a special memory for you if you will surrender to Jesus by faith. We remember the promise that Jesus made, that He will return to the earth to claim those who have believed in Him. Do you look forward to His return? You can if you will give your life to Him today by faith. If you have made that decision, you do not just have a memory of what Jesus did for you; rather, you have a great expectation of what He has in store for you. I left out a lot about what could be written about the love that brought Jesus to earth, the sacrifice that He made on the cross for us, and we can look forward to His return. I hope that what I have written will make a difference in your life. Happy Memorial Day! Bro. Joe
