And They Remembered His Words
by Leah S. Carpenter

“And they remembered his words.” Lk. 24:8

Ah! What comfort there was in remembering Christ’s words, that he would, indeed, rise again. How many other promises, comforts and instruction ought we to remember that we do not? How many times could we draw comfort sooner, even experience much less sorrow, if we but remembered his words in the beginning? How many sins would we avoid if we kept God’s words before us? Yet draw comfort from the fact that an angel was sent to remind the women at the tomb of Jesus’ words: another mercy from a loving God. When we need to be reminded of God’s words he will bring them to our mind, if we are faithful to seek his word. His word will comfort even in the worst events in life; his words will instruct and guide us in all things; his word will keep us from falling prey to Satan; His promises will strengthen us when we are weak.

~Let us seek God’s word, that we may remember it~
