LET'S FORGET ABOUT "US" AND REMEMBER "JESUS"!

 

 

 

(Luke 23: 42-43) "And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise."

(Psa. 106:4) "Remember me, O Lord, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation."

(Ezekiel 16:60) "Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant."

          In the first scripture given, a convicted, guilty thief hung on a cross next to Jesus asking him to remember him when he arrived in glory. Isn't it just awesome that even in situations where nobody else can rescue us, Jesus remembers and comes to save us? What would have been our response to this thief knowing what he had done during his lifetime? Would we have remembered the act of his crime or the cry for help?

          There are people we meet or know who may never remember who we are, what we've done, where we live, what we have achieved or any of theses things that may matter. And you know what? It's all good! It is so encouraging through reading God's Word that He remembers. Some people try so hard to get people to recognize them by the things they say or do. All of this may be good in its own place, but what is most important? Is it important to us whether God remembers or man? As this thief was almost to die, he sensed that he had one more chance to obtain help and he didn't let what wrong he had done in his past stop him from reaching Jesus.

          When we forget about US and remember JESUS, we will find that whatever we desire or need can be obtained when we acknowledge him. If people never remember our name or what things we may have done here on earth; knowing God remembers should mean more! God never forgets!
