These words we mostly reflect on at time of Holy Communion. It seems, that Christians may forget Christ. There could be no need for this loving exhortation, if there were not a fearful suppositition that our memories might prove treacherous. It appears almost impossible that 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 startly to the ear, it is a fact. It is too apparent to eye to allow us to deny the crime. But how can we forget him that never forgot us! Foget him who poured his blood forth for our sins! Forget him who love us even to the death! Can it be posssible? 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 for night. We much make Our Lord and Saviour the abiding tenant of our Memories. Please do not forget that
without CHRIST there would Be NO Christmas. While memory too well preserves a poisonou 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.
