Good Rememberance

UV 3715/10000 Good Rememberance Remember Jesus Christ ( the ever-living Lord who has) risen from the dead, (as the prophesied King) descended from David (king of Israel), according to my gospel ( the good news that I preach. 2 Timothy 2 v 8 We need to remember who we were, what we were, how we were before we came to know Jesus personally as Lord and Saviour. The book of Ecclesiastes asks us to remember God in the days of our youth.. Indeed, if we remember God or in other words, be conscious of the presence and power of God. When we do so, we remain young in spirit and heart. We will not tire of being good and doing good when we remember Jesus Christ, remember how He rose from the dead, how He came in the lineage of David but He is the greatest King who ended our struggles with God to be blessed. He is the Lord of both life and death. When we remember Him, we believe Him and receive good news. We become good news for others around us. Jesus combines in Him the offices or functions of King, Priest and Prophet. When we remember Him, we receive the triple anointing of Jesus to be king, priest and prophet. As King, He has the power of God. As Priest, He is holy. As Prophet, He knows the future. He shares His kingly power, priestly holiness and prophetic anointing with us. It is amazing to realize that in keeping with Jewish tradition, Jesus is both High Priest and Sacrifice. He as High Priest offered His own body to be pierced and broken on the cross. He is not only King, Priest, Prophet and Sacrifice, He is the Temple of God, the place where the sacrifice is offered. He is the Capstone of the Temple and He invites us to be bricks or building blocks in the Temple of God. To remember the sacrifice of Jesus daily with thanksgiving is our response to His loving act of sacrifice. To remember Jesus daily with praise and worship is the way to exercise kingly power. To remember Jesus daily with the word is the way to appropriate priestly grace and anointing. To remember Jesus daily is to exercise prophetic anointing and we will be able to tell what will happen before it happens. The Holy Spirit is called the Remembrancer as He helps us remember Jesus, His sacrifice, His lordship, His kingship, His power, His love, His grace and mercy, from moment to moment.
