REMEMBER HIM AND REMEMBER THEM
(Hebrews 6:10- 11) 10- “For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have showed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11- And we desire that every one of you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:”
Charles Haddon Spurgeon once said; “Forget Him who never forgot us? Forget Him who gave His blood for our sins? Forget Him who loved us even to death? Is this possible? Yes, it is not only possible, but it is too sadly a fault with all of us that treat Him like a visitor who has come only for an evening.” (“Morning and Evening” April 26, Morning)
This memorial day, may we will not forget the sacrifices of our soldiers who fought and also, those who are still fighting for our protection and for the freedom of our land. We must also remember the soldiers of the Cross who stood up for Christ in spite of pain, imprisonment in the Name of Christ, persecution and death. But most of all, we must remember the One who sacrificed Himself for our spiritual freedom, for our salvation, for our healing and for our stripes. (Isaiah 53:5) “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” (Psalm 103:2- 5) 2- “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3- Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4- Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5- Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.”
