In Remembrance

2 Timothy 2:8 says "Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead." This verse is the high point of 2 Timothy 2. Everything previous to it points to it. Everything after it looks back to it. Jesus is to be remembered, recalled to mind, thought of, focused on. Specifically, we are to remember Christ's substitutionary death to pay the penalty for sin, His death on the cross, and His resurrection. Why are believers to remember Jesus? Because He is our life. All we have is Jesus Christ. While we are here on earth we are to praise the glory of God's grace revealed in Christ. Jesus is our sufficiency and adequacy. He is the author and perfector of our faith.
