Remember How He Spoke to You

When we remember various factors,  we are able  to figure things out.      Whether we’re in a school situation  getting ready for a test,  a problem solving situation  at work,  or a puzzlement at home,  we need  to remember the past  to make sense  out of the present.

When Jesus’ friends went  to His tomb  on that early Sunday morning,  they expected  to see His dead body  and to have an opportunity  to give Him a proper Jewish burial  with the spices they had prepared.     But,  they were greatly perplexed  to see that His body was gone.     And then,  they were afraid  upon seeing two angels  in dazzling clothes.     The angels said to them  in Luke 24:5-7,

Why do you seek the living One  among the dead?     He is not here,  but He has risen.

Remember  how He spoke to you  while He was still in Galilee,  saying that the Son of Man must be delivered  into the hands  of sinful men,  and be crucified,  and the third day rise again.

That reminder helped them  to remember  what Jesus had said to them.     We all need reminders  of what God has taught us  in His word.     When we are troubled  with all our trials,  we need to remember all  that Jesus has told us  in the Bible  about the troubles  that we will need to face  until His second coming.     Our trials are not surprising  when we remember  how they have been foretold  by Jesus.

When we feel oppressed  with our sins,  we need to remember all  of God’s promises  regarding our total forgiveness  and salvation  by faith alone,  through the grace of God  in Jesus Christ.

Jesus is the One  who prophesied  His own suffering,  crucifixion,  and resurrection.     He fulfilled  all His word  to show  that He is indeed the one and only true God  and Savior  of mankind.     Remembering all that  should strengthen us  to put our faith  in His promises  and strive to continue living  for Him.

We need  to listen to God’s word  to us  before we can remember it  and allow it  to strengthen us  in the truths He has given us.     Time spent  studying God’s word  is time well spent.     It will help us  to grow in faith,  hope,  and love  towards the LORD God Almighty,  who has given His only begotten Son  to die  for our sins.

Remembering God’s love for us,  we say,  “Hallelujah!     Lord,  You open our eyes,  ears,  hearts,  and minds  to know You  in the right way.     Have mercy on us,  that we might always remember  all Your words of promise  and treasure Your gifts  of grace.”

Love,
Margaret
