“Remember Me”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 137

There are many ways for the believer to remember the Lord but He has chosen only one way for Him to be remembered.

Luke 22:19-20 “And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. [20] Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.”

The Lord wants the world to remember His broken body, and His shed blood. For that was His purpose of coming to earth.

Isaiah 53:4-5,7 “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. [5] But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. [7] He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.”

Remember His broken body, remember His shed blood. This is the Door to God.

The Psalmist remembers Zion.

Let’s read:

Psalm 137:1-4 “By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. [2] We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. [3] For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. [4] How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land?”

If men and women in captivity can sing a song about Zion their home, how much more can those liberated by the broken body and shed blood of Christ sing?

Revelation 5:9-10 “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; [10] And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”

It will also be the song of redeemed Israel.

Revelation 14:3 “And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.”

It’s the song of redemption for the Jew and the Gentile. It’s the song of remembrance; His broken body and shed blood.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 137:5-9 “If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. [6] If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. [7] Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. [8] O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. [9] Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.”

The destruction of Babylon, the city that sacrificed children unto idols, is celebrated.
Today, the greatest Babylon is religion, which Jesus Christ came to destroy.

When we remember His broken body and shed blood, we have come out of religion into Light.

Remember His broken body and shed blood. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Redeemer as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. Broken Body, Broken Heart, the Blood shed, in Christ!
