DAILY READINGS: 1 Chronicles 29; Ezekiel 26; John 9:18-41
He took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is My body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of Me. Luke 22:19
In Canada and the U.K., poppies are worn at this time of year to keep alive the “remembrance” of those who gave their lives in times of war to maintain our freedom. Oh, but 2000 years ago the Man of Sorrows gave His life to purchase our freedom. Tortured, humiliated, and crucified, His death was the greatest sacrifice ever. So that we would never forget the price that was paid at Calvary’s cross, the Lord commanded us to remember His body sacrificed, His blood shed and by doing so we fulfill His dying request. —Jerry Proctor
Lord we would ne’er forget Thy love, who hast redeemed us by Thy blood.
We would, until we meet above, in all our ways remember Thee. —E. Miller
