Remember Their Sacrifice

There is someone else who made a huge sacrifice for our freedom. Someone who we need to honor and thank regularly, not as ritual, but from a truly grateful heart. As Jesus and His disciples were sharing what is now referred to as "The Last Supper", the Bible says in Luke 22:19-20, that Jesus took the bread and broke it, and said
"This is my body broken for you, do this in remembrance of Me. In the same way, after the supper, He took the cup and said "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you."Why did Jesus encourage us to regularly remember the cross? I believe it has to do with how the enemy tries to attack our minds with lies. For some, we need to remember that our sins are forgiven, despite how we feel. For others, we need to remember we were once sinners, and not sit in judgment.
Once a year we honor our fallen men and women in military for their great sacrifice. Every month, many of us gather at church to take communion to remember Jesus sacrifice on the cross. However, one thing we need to remember daily, is that no matter what we're facing, Jesus last words were "It is finished!" There is absolutely nothing that we're going through that hasn't been take care of, or provided for, on the cross.
