Emphasis Preaching Journal

When the early Christians shared the bread and the cup together, they recalled aloud the event on which their existence was based. So they were to do until the Lord returned. Remembering the events that define and undergird our existence can give meaning and purpose and direction to life. There is an old cemetery near my hometown, which is probably like many old cemeteries. The markers, many of them marble, have faded, but there are still many stories told by those markers, for those interested enough. One marker commemorated three children of one family who all died on the same day.
