Christmas is a grand beginning, but just the start …

Immediately under the space to log in on Twitter is a box that can be checked, with the words “Remember Me” next to it.

I’ve seen the same option available on other websites.

On some of them, including Twitter, I have checked the box.

The problem is, the site doesn’t remember me. Every time I return, I have to type in my identity because it has “forgotten” me.

Those sites are a lot like us.

We say — about some very important things — that we will never forget.

But we forget.

We promise we will always remember!

But we don’t.

We even allow to slip from our minds the sacrifice Jesus Christ made of His body and blood on our behalf. We forget, so Jesus designed a reminder for us …

“23 For I pass on to you what I received from the Lord himself. On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread 24 and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and said, ‘This is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me.’ 25 In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this to remember me as often as you drink it,’” 1 Corinthians 11:23-25.

The work of the cross starts with Christmas.

God so loved the world, that He gave His Son to save us from our sins (John 3:16). Christmas begins a work of God that should be unforgettable.

With all the fond memories this Christmas season, what are you remembering?

Who are you remembering?
