Being Remembered
One of the men hanging on the cross next to Jesus asked that he be remembered when Jesus comes into His kingdom. Jesus promised on that day that the man would be with Him in Paradise. One of the most important requests in life, to spend eternity with Christ, to be remembered. Nobody wants to be left behind.
I called a friend in Arkansas just to say hi. He remembers me as Chaplain David. He stated, I remember you chaplain, "you're the one who rebuilt the chapel here at Little Rock AFB. Not quite true, I had a lot of help. It's nice to be remembered for something positive I did.
I renewed a friendship with a mother who had lost her son to leukemia. She remembered me as being there in her darkest hour. She said, "I will always remember you". It is great when you can help others.
We all strive to be useful, to be good to others, to make a difference in someone's life. To be remembered. I strive to live my life in such a way that I remind them of Christ's promise. Jesus calls us to make a difference in this world. There are many people in my life that I want to remember.
Today Jesus provides us hope even if we feel we haven’t done much in life.
I have a friend who makes bad decisions. He can’t seem to get ahead. He can’t keep a job. He owes money that he can’t pay back. He goes from one disaster to another. He drives with expired license plates. The list goes on and on.. It’s costly to be his friend. He deserves to be where he is, Rock Bottom! The cross he bears is one of depression, loneliness and desperation. But he goes to church, he believes in Jesus as his savior. Even as he carries his cross of bad decisions be pleads with Christ to remember him. Somewhere in his life he is waiting to hear the words, “young man today you shall be with Me in paradise.” Jesus assures us that we will be with him in paradise where we are in life. All we need to do is ask. God loves you.
