DAILY READINGS: 2 Chron. 5 to 6:11; Ezekiel 29 to 30:19; John 11:1-27
What [mean] ye by these stones? And these stones shall be for a
memorial unto the children of Israel for ever. Joshua 4:6-7
Amemorial is an object reminder or token act by which something
is brought to mind. These stones represented every Israelite who
passed through Jordan, by the power of the Ark of the Covenant, to
a new life. What an analogy for believers who remember the Lord’s
power over death, hell and the grave. Can we not say the same thing
as we gather around the bread and wine, what mean these emblems?

Till He come we take the bread, type of Him on whom we feed,
Him who liveth and was dead, we give Thee thanks, O Lord.
Till He come we take the cup; as we at His table sup,
Eye and heart are lifted up! We give Thee thanks, O Lord. —Anon.
