“…the Lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread: and when He had given thanks, He broke it, and said, ‘Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.’” (I Corinthians 11:23,24)
Compared to the size of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. the wafer of bread and the thimble size cup of fruit of the vine are insignificant. Compared to the persons they each memorialize, the Lincoln Memorial is tiny.
The two elements of the Lord’s Supper help us remember the broken body and the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, when He died on the cross, the greatest single event for the benefit of more people than all other memorialized persons or events combined.
Let us on this Memorial Day remember the many lives of American Soldiers, Sailors, Air-men, Marines and Coast-guardsmen who gave their all for our freedoms. And let us never forget the great love of God and His Son when we were made free from the chains of Satan.
