Some events in life are too important to be forgotten: a wedding anniversary, Christmas Day, Merdeka. They are dates that we mark every year. That we remember. That we celebrate. In Luke 21:37-22:23, we are instructed to remember the most important event of all: the self-sacrifice of Christ on the cross. We are to remember and forever treasure the death of Jesus.
