Remember me
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (NIV) Romans 5:8
"Remember Me" is the title of one popular movie about a young man who sacrificed his life to bring about change in the lives of the people around him. Though, his sacrifice cannot be compared to the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus, he was always remembered. Those whose lives where affected, changed their old unhealthy and fearful ways for the better. In their own ways, they showed appreciation for the sacrifice of the young man.
A much better account of sacrifice can be found in the bible (John 18 - 19). God did not spare His only son (Jesus) but gave Him up to be crucified for the salvation of mankind (Romans 8:32). His son (Jesus) accepted to go through these pain and suffering not because we deserved that (Romans 5:8), but He was hopeful that we will remember this act of Love and make a change in our lives. Perhaps, this is not the first time you have heard the message of the sacrifice of Jesus. Well, what did you do about it? Acts 17:30 says; in the past God overlooked our ignorance, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent. Repentance is the act that signifies that we have changed from our old sinful ways and ready to accept the righteous way of our Lord Jesus. By this, we accept to be buried with Him in baptism and be raised from the dead into a new life (Colossians 2:12). 1 Peter 1:23 says for we are born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. What else can we ask for?
Beloved, lets make it a resolution to remember the sacrifice of Jesus always. That is, we remember Him not only in our minds but in our way of life. If you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour through baptism, the time is now (Hebrews 3: 15-19). You can contact the This email address is being protected from spambots.
