This do in remembrance of me. 1 Corinthians 11:24
The architect, Edwin Lutyens, was invited to design a monument to be erected in Whitehall, London to remember the fallen of World War I. Lutyens’ design featured an empty plaster coffin on a wooden pillar and was called a cenotaph (“empty tomb” in Greek). Later it was replaced by a permanent structure in Portland Stone. Once a year, on Remembrance Sunday, crowds gather to remember those who gave their lives for others to live. For two thousand years Christians have gathered every Sunday to remember the One who gave His life so that others might have eternal life through faith in Him. Have you remembered Him
today as He asked? —Brian Powlesland
Saviour we remember Thee, Thy deep woe and agony,
All Thy suffering on the tree, Saviour we adore Thee. —Samuel Trevor Francis
