“This do in remembrance of Me.” — 1 Corinthians 11:24
It seems then, that Christians may forget Christ! There could be no need for this loving exhortation, if there were not a fearful supposition that our memories might prove treacherous. Nor is this a bare supposition: it is, alas! too well confirmed in our experience, not as a possibility, but as a lamentable fact. It appears almost impossible that those who have been redeemed by the blood of the dying Lamb, and loved with an everlasting love by the eternal Son of God, should forget that gracious Saviour; but, if startling to the ear, it is, alas! too apparent to the eye to allow us to deny the crime. Forget Him who never forgot us! Forget Him who poured His blood forth for our sins! Forget Him who loved us even to the death! Can it be possible?…
Yes, it is not only possible, but conscience confesses that it
is too sadly a fault with all of us, that we suffer Him to be as a wayfaring
man tarrying but for a night. He whom we should make the abiding tenant
of our memories is but a visitor therein. The cross where one would think
that memory would linger, and unmindfulness would be an unknown
intruder, is desecrated by the feet of forgetfulness. Does not your
conscience say that this is true? Do you not find yourselves forgetful of
Jesus? Some creature steals away your heart, and you are unmindful of
Him upon whom your affection ought to be set. Some earthly business
engrosses your attention when you should fix your eye steadily upon the
cross. It is the incessant turmoil of the world, the constant attraction of
earthly things which takes away the soul from Christ. While memory too
well preserves a poisonous weed, it suffereth the rose of Sharon to wither.
Let us charge ourselves to bind a heavenly forget-me-not about our hearts
for Jesus our Beloved, and, whatever else we let slip, let us hold fast to
Him.
