Lest We Forget
Preached on 8th November 2020 by Rupert Hunt-Taylor
A brief reflection for Remembrance Sunday
Readings: Deuteronomy 6:4–12, Luke 23:32-43
On memory...
We long for remembrance, because we are human
Memory values our past
Memory values our future
Our memories fail, because we are human
Memory is a wonderful but finite gift
God also gives us means to preserve our memory of himself
True hope lies in the one who remembers us
