 Title: Establishing A Memorial

Introduction: No small amount of money is made by companies selling flowers, cards and assorted gifts in acknowledgment of some occasion, whether a wedding anniversary, birthday or, some other special event in the life of a friend, family member or loved one. A great variety of memorials dot our landscape, communities with memorials of every sort commemorating some special event. The Cross of Jesus Christ is an event in the history of man that commemorates God in the flesh, becoming sin, so that sinful man could be reconciled to Holy God, have his sins put to death, and be born again. The cross has been made into an object of jewelry, and much of the significance of the Cross has been lost in that way. The crucifixion and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ was the most significant event in the history of mankind. The crossing of Jordan was a significant event in the life of Israel, and, a memorial was established in light thereof. What memorials have you established in a scrapbook, a diary, or even your memory to moves of God in your life. We do well to remember the blessings of the past.
