Remember Jesus Christ!


I love Dr. S. M. Lockridge's description of Jesus Christ! At the last Together For The Gospel meeting in 2022, Brother Shai Linne preached a glorious message about Jesus Christ based on 2 Timothy 2:8: "Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my Gospel . . . ."

He ended his message with a Shai Linne version of "That's My King!" - "Remember Jesus Christ!"

Please enjoy meditating with me on the glories of Jesus Christ! Shai preached Him up this way:

Remember Jesus Christ!
First, remember His glorious Person! Remember His glorious Person!
That Jesus is the eternal Son of God! God over all blessed forever! Amen!
Remember that He is the Word Who was in the beginning with God and Who was God!
Remember that Jesus is equal in essence with the Father!
Remember that all that can be said about the Father's divine nature can properly be said about the Son as well!
As the old school catechism puts it: "God is infinite in being and perfection, unchangeable, immense, eternal, incomprehensible, almighty, most wise, most holy, most free, most absolute, working all things according to the counsel of His own immutable and most righteous will for His own glory, most loving, gracious, merciful, long-suffering, abundant in goodness and truth!" 

Yeah! Yeah!

These things are all true about God the Father and they're also true about God the Son!
Remember His glorious Person!

Remember His preexistence!
That Jesus did not begin to exist in the virgin's womb, but that from everlasting to everlasting He is God!
As Jesus prayed in John 17:5: "And now Father, glorify Me in Your own presence with the glory that I had with You before the world existed! 
Remember His preexistence y'all!

Remember His perfect life!
That Jesus fulfilled God's law perfectly - internally and externally!
Every thought that Jesus had was a sinless thought! 
Every word that He spoke was a sinless word!
And every deed He performed was a sinless deed!
He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in His mouth!
Remember His perfect life!

Remember that on the cross Jesus suffering the full weight of the fury and wrath of God against sin!
Remember that He laid down His life as a substitute in the place of all who would trust in Him - including you if you trust in Him, even now!
Remember that He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree!
Remember that God did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all!
Remember that the Good Shepherd laid down His life for the sheep!

That Jesus did not stay in the tomb, but on the third day He rose from the grave! 


Remember that Jesus conquered Satan and sin and death!
Remember that not only was Jesus delivered up for our trespasses, but He was also raised for our justification!
Remember that Jesus abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel!
Remember His glorious resurrection!

When you’re tempted to sin, remember Jesus Christ, that He Himself suffered when He was tempted, so He's able to help those who are being tempted!

When you’ve fallen into sin, remember Jesus Christ, that we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous and that He is the propitiation for our sins!

When you're discouraged, remember Jesus Christ, Who said: "In the world you will have tribulation, but take heart! I have overcome the world!"

When you're sick, remember Jesus Christ, Who by the power that enables Him to bring everything under His control will transform our lowly body so that they will be like His glorious body!

When you're healthy, remember Jesus Christ, and give Him thanks like the leper who was healed and returned to express his gratitude to Jesus!

When you're anxious about finances, remember Jesus Christ, Who said: "Consider the ravens. They neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, yet God [feeds] them. Of how much more value are you than the birds!"

You considering doing something difficult for the LORD? Or going out for the sake of His name? Remember Jesus Christ, Who said: "I am with you, even to the end of the age."

Children, if there's any children in the building, remember Jesus Christ kids!
God made you, and He made you for His glory - that you might live and honor Jesus Christ all your days!

If you're single, remember Jesus Christ - your Maker is your Husband! The LORD of hosts is His name, and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer!

Fathers, remember Jesus Christ! In your homes as you lead your family pray that your home would be a sanctuary where God is acknowledged and worshiped!

Mothers, moms, remember Jesus Christ! Both His power to save your children as well as His acceptance of you when you feel overwhelmed or when you feel like a failure!

Older saints, remember Jesus Christ, Who says in Isaiah 46:4: "Even to your old age, I AM He, and to gray hairs, I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear! I will carry, and I will save!"

Deacons, as you serve the LORD, remember Jesus Christ, the ultimate Deacon Who came not to be served but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many!

Pastors, as you lead your congregations, remember Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd and Overseer of our souls! Remember that your righteousness is not found in your leadership, your sermons, or your counseling! Your righteousness is found in Jesus!

That's what we talkin' about y'all! 
We talkin' about Jesus!

The God Glorifier!
The universe Creator!
The prophecy Fulfiller!
The perfect law Obeyer!
The Scripture Validator!
The Father Honorer!
The humility Modeler!
The cross Carrier!
The sin Bearer!
The death Conqueror!
The grave Defeater!
The salvation Achiever!
The prayer Answerer!
The proud Humbler!
The weak Strengthener!
The elect Preserver!
The triumphant Returner!
The justice Executor!
The Satan Destroyer!
The eternal joy Giver!

That's Jesus y'all!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my Gospel. Amen.

Amen! Hallelujah! What a Savior!
