Not to be forgotten.
"God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December." So wrote J.M. Barrie, author of Peter Pan.
Portland comes alive with roses in early June. Though the blossoms aren't as plentiful in other months, with proper care their beauty will last all summer. These roses are in the care of our good friend, Deb, in Portland. She spends hours upon hours nursing her roses.
Yet their comes a time when roses go dormant to survive the winter.
We're basking in the afterglow of the resurrection. We will continue to hear the message of Christ's victory over death for a number of Sundays but the time is coming when the glory will fade.
God has given us memory that we might see the power of the resurrection in December.
"God has spoken once. I have heard it said twice: 'Power belongs to God.'" Psalm 62:11 God's Word to the Nations
The power of Jesus' resurrection is as real for us who bask in the afterglow of Easter as well as those in the darkness of December.
May we not forget the sovereignty of the resurrection throughout our earthly journey.
