Tag: love for Jesus

In verses 6-16, we see two people that Christians remember.

We remember Mary for the great love she had for Jesus. In fact Jesus said of her,

Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her. (Matthew 26:13)

Then in the very next verse, we see another person Christians remember: Judas. But we remember him, not for his love of Jesus, but for his betrayal of Jesus.

When we are gone, what will people remember about us? What will they say about us? Will they remember the love we had for Jesus?

The good news is that our legacy can change.

Peter could have been remembered solely for denying Jesus three times. But while we do remember that, we also remember the grace Jesus poured into his life.

That’s what I pray people remember about me. That they remember my love for Jesus. And the great grace he has poured out on me.

How will they remember me?
I hope when they remember they see You.
