Remembering The Word Of Jesus
Text: John 15: 20
REMEMBERING THE WORD OF JESUS
Jesus had taught His Disciples many deep and precious lessons. He reminded them of the need to remember what had been taught so that they would not be afraid of the hatred of the world.
“Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecute Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.”
John 15:20
1. “Remember the word that I said to you”
a. “Remembering the word”
i. This must be done.
ii. It requires discipline.
iii. It is also an exercise of wisdom.
b. Practical steps:
i. Memorize the Lord’s word.
ii. Recall often.
iii. Reflect prayerfully and apply consciously in life and ministry.
2. “A servant is not greater than his master”
a. This was noted in Matthew 10:24.
b. This was also noted in Luke 6:40.
c. This was captured here in John 15:20.
d. This is a vital truth that must be understood and applied humbly:
i. Jesus is our Master.
ii. We are but humble servants of His (even if we are called “friends”).
3. “If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you”
a. Persecution of Jesus was evident.
b. The Disciples must be prepared for persecution.
4. “If they kept My word, they will keep yours also”
a. The fact was that the word of Jesus was not kept.
b. The Disciples must not expect that the world would keep their word.
c. If the word of Jesus was kept then the word of the Disciples would be kept too.
The challenge is to remember and to practise the word that Jesus taught His Disciples with a strong faith.
