In Remembrance

I bought a strawberry milkshake. And, as I was enjoying it I thought of my late husband who always ordered strawberry flavor. I was doing it in remembrance of him.

Then I thought about Jesus when He told us to take the bread and wine in remembrance of Him. When we love someone so much that it makes our hearts break when something bad happens to them and they are no longer with us, we do things to remind us of the love we had for them, and they for us. We can only experience the remembrance of Jesus when our hearts yearn for Him and we cannot wait to see Him again.

“And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’ Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.’”  Luke 22:19,20  NKJV
