  1. The trail of memories we leave for others Pastor Shane L. Johnson, D.Min. Memorial Day Sunday, 2010

  2. Question! • Whose memory do you want to leave your imprint on? • What do you want this/these person(s) to remember you for?

  3. My answer… • Who do you want to remember you?My wife, my children, my church family, my mentees, my students, a few close friends… • What do you want them to remember you for?- that he loved his Lord, wife, children, church family, students and friends, in that order- that he was a man of principle- that he enjoyed life

  4. Our text- 1 Cor 11.24-26 • 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the LORD's death until he comes.

  5. Regarding the text… • Jesus took some of the most common elements of His day to fabricate a memoriala loaf of breada jug of wine • “every time you eat bread and drink wine, think of, reconnect with the memory of, me” • After Jesus ascended into Heaven, and when the disciples sat to eat a meal and reached for the bread or the wine, what do you suppose went through their minds regarding Him?

  6. We tend to imprint people regarding… • What we value or hold dear • Those things that we don’t like • The types of people we like • The types of people we dislike • What gives us real joy- Kathy and her flowers • What makes us sad • What makes us angry

  7. Questions we need to live with • If I had three months to live, what would I do? • If I died today, who would grieve? • What kind of void would I leave? • What will my legacy be? • What will the material possessions I leave behind say about what I valued? • What will the people I leave behind say about my values- those things I stood for or against? • What things, actions or events would cause people to think me?
