“Remember how He spoke to you!” Luke 24:6
So said the angels to the women at the sepulcher, on the resurrection morning. This exhortation is most applicable to us, for we are apt to forget His words.
The words of Jesus ought to have the best place in our memories:
1. On account of their intrinsic value. There are no words like the words of Jesus, which exhibit the nature, will, and promises of God.
2. On account of their veracity. They are all true–the truth itself.
3. On account of their suitability. They . . .
check sin,
control fears,
produce confidence,
inspire with gratitude,
and fill us with love.
4. On account of their usefulness . . .
in our daily trials,
to direct our way,
rule our expectations,
comfort our hearts,
feed and support our faith,
on the bed of sickness,
and at the hour of death.
KEEP MY WORD!
Let us treasure up the words of Jesus carefully, diligently, and with much prayer.
Are our memories stored with Christ’s words?
Do we meditate upon them?
Do we walk by them?
“If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word.” John 14:23
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away!” Luke 21:33
