Remember Me God, For Good Series

John 21:25, "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen."

Reckoning that Nehemiah is a type of Christ to you and I, we know that Jesus paid the full price for our sin. He established His church and promised that the “gates of Hell”, meaning the powers of darkness, would never overcome it. Jesus came to cleanse the temple of your heart, to build your walls of salvation and to redeem you from the world of sin and make you His own. Though He is gone away for a short time, He is coming again soon.

Will he find us serving Him? Or will he find us allowing Tobiah to rule in our lives?

He is coming for a church that is faithful, watching and ready.

In Nehemiah 13:31, Nehemiah says "… Remember me, O my God, for good."

Nehemiah wanted all of the work that he had done to be remembered when He would stand before God.

If we are to consider this in light of the fact that Jesus is typified in Nehemiah, then we must remember that Jesus is now ascended into Heaven and seated at the right hand of the Father. His work is finished, and will ever stand as a memorial for the salvation of mankind. Because he humbled himself and went to the cross, he is now honored in Heaven forever and has been given all power in Heaven and in Earth.

In our own lives, let us remember that one day we too shall stand before God. If we have learned the lessons well and obeyed the Word of God as found in this book, then we will also stand before God and be remembered for our good works, as well is our faith in Jesus Christ.

That’s when we will hear those wonderful words found in Matthew 25:21, "...Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord."
