In Memorial

Many worthy causes, projects, scholarships, and organizations began in honor of a person. For instance, a program to help first responders was instituted to honor a brother who lost his life on 911. On the religious landscape there can be no greater memorial instituted than the remembrance of Jesus Christ. Paul said, “For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes” (1 Cor 11:23-26 NIV).
