Remembering

Do this in remembrance of Me (Luke 22:19).

“I’ll go to the book table,” I said. “You get the computer ready and I will be there shortly.” I meant to do it; I wanted to do it; but I forgot to do it! Seven hours too late I remembered I had left good people waiting on me because I forgot.

I blame my age, but I know forgetfulness is possible at any age. When it comes to the “things above,” we can easily become sidetracked by the “things of earth.” Perhaps that is one of the reasons Jesus gave us tangible reminders - bread and the fruit of the vine. These earthy elements help us remember our wonderful Savior, the Lamb of God who takes away our sins. We remember, we rejoice, and we are renewed!
