Christians have many treasures to lock up in the cabinet of memory. They ought to remember their election - "Chosen of God ere time began." They ought to be mindful of their extraction, that they were taken out of the miry clay, hewn out of the horrible pit. They ought to recollect their effectual calling, for they were called of God, and rescued by the power of the Holy Ghost. They ought to remember their special deliverances - all that has been done for them, and all the mercies bestowed on them. But there is one whom they should embalm in their souls with the most costly spices - one who, above all other gifts of God, deserves to be had in perpetual remembrance. ... It is Christ's glorious person which ought to be the object of our remembrance. It is His image which should be enshrined in every temple of the Holy Ghost.
-- Charles Spurgeon "The Remembrance of Christ"
