Looking Back

“In remembrance of Me” (Luke 22:19).

On the first day of the week, it is important to pause and look back to the work of Calvary and remember the Lord Jesus, what He suffered for us and what He accomplished to the glory of God and for our eternal blessing. Here are the words of a hymn that express it better than I can:

“On Calvary we’ve adoring stood,
And gazed on that wondrous cross,
Where the holy, spotless Lamb of God
Was slain in His love for us;
How our hearts have stirred at that solemn cry,
While the sun was enrapt in night,
‘Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?’
Most blessed, most awful sight.”

– 213 Little Flock Hymnbook

Yes, nothing will stir our souls to worship, praise, and thanksgiving like a fresh glimpse, by faith, of

“the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Galatians 6:14).
