~ Jesus Christ Requests 3 Things From
Christians ~
Watch With Me
~ “Jesus
said to them [His disciples], ‘My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to
death. Stay here and watch with Me’” (Matthew
26:38). Jesus said to all His followers,
“Watch therefore, for you do not know
what hour your Lord is coming” (Matthew
24:42).
Remember Me
~ “For
I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord
Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had
given thanks, He broke it and said, ‘Take, eat; this
is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’ In the same manner He also took the cup after
supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.’ For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you
proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes” (1 Corinthians 11:23-26).
Follow Me
~ “Jesus
said to Peter, ‘Feed My sheep. Most
assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked
where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and
another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish.’ This He spoke, signifying by what death he
would glorify God. And when He had
spoken this, He said to him, ‘Follow Me’”
(John 21:17-19). Jesus said, “he who does
not take his cross and follow after Me
is not worthy of Me. He who finds his
life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it” (Matthew
10:38-39).
