Along with remembering the sacrifice of Christ, we also need to pray that it is God’s will that needs to be done. As we eat and drink from that communion table, that is what we are supposed to be remembering nothing else in our lives is more important that the true meaning of communion.
Jesus gave his life so we could have eternal life. We have communion at church on a regular basis and it is intended to be a reminder for each of us in regards to what happened in that Upper Room long ago. This entire song is about Jesus reminding us to remember the sacrifice he became to save all of us, remember his teachings, remember his love for others, and remember to follow the message he has placed in our hearts. My visit was many years ago, but the words of this song are even more powerful to me today. As we sang in this special place, I was filled with emotion as the sounds began reverberating off the walls and thought about what our Savior was preparing to do for each of us. It was amazing to be where Jesus conducted the Last Supper and let his disciples know what was about to happen. I can still remember walking up those worn steps to get to the Upper Room and then entering what is now an empty room with columns being the only items within the room. Some of the sites included the Garden Tomb, Bethlehem Square on Christmas Eve, and the Upper Room. I was part of a church youth choir that toured various sites in Israel and we sang at each of the historical sites.
This song has a very special meaning to me. A link to Cynthia Clawson performing the song is at the bottom of this Blog entry. Clifford Chanin, vice president of education and public programs at the museum, said in a previous interview that “many of the images from 9/11 still convey the rawness and brutality of the attack … they still have the capacity to shock.” Warning: This gallery contains graphic content.The next song for my Blog was written by Ragan Courtney and Buryl Red and was first released in 1972 as part of the Celebrate Life Musical. The events will complement the permanent parts of the museum that document the tragedy of that day. This year, to honor the anniversary, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York City-which opened in 2014-will host its annual 9/11 Commemoration Ceremony, followed by the " Tribute in Light", in the evening, with twin beams of light representing the World Trade Center buildings illuminating the New York City skyline from 3 p.m. There are also memorials near the Pentagon and in Stoystown, Pennsylvania. Now, the site of the New York City attacks is home to One World Trade Center, the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and a marker of resilience in the face of tragedy. As the years pass, suffering continues alongside the memorializing-among those who lost loved ones and by survivors who sustained injuries or who were forever changed by the horrific events-even as the country, and the world, changes. Nearly 3,000 people in New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania lost their lives on 9/11 after terrorists orchestrated by Osama bin Laden hijacked airplanes as weapons.
Seventeen years later, the attacks of September 11, 2001, are still fresh in the memories of many Americans. This story was originally published on September 11, 2016, and was updated on Septemto reflect current news.
