REMEMBER ME

Two criminals, one on each side of Jesus.  One tells Him, if You are the Messiah, save Yourself and us.  We will paraphrase here, what the criminal is saying is: I have heard about this Messiah and He is suppose to be able to do signs and wonders, sure, yeah right, and if You are Him then man do Your thing, and while You are at it, do wonders for me to get me off this cross.

The second criminal though knows whom it is on the cross beside him.  He says, 'Don't you fear God?'  We got what we deserve, be He is innocent.  Then he speaks to Him and calls Him by His Name 'Jesus' remember me when You come into Your Kingdom.

No where else is Jesus addressed in the Bible by just His Name.  Always He is Rabbi, Master or Lord.  There is power in that Name Jesus.  These verses show us everything we have read about the personality of Jesus.  To good to be true?  Two men on a cross dying a hideous death and still forgiveness is given.  But it is true, though we might not think, or believe.  He is the God that forgives, even those that think they do not deserve His forgiveness.  'Remember me.'

What a mighty God we serve, angels bow before Him, heaven and earth adore Him.  Jesus hear us today as we sing prasises to You and 'Remember me.'

God Bless,
