Remember Me

On this Palm Sunday, Jason takes us into the heart of Luke 23, where the thief on the cross utters a simple but profound plea: “Lord, remember me.” At first glance, these words seem like a desperate request not to be forgotten—but as Jason unpacks the deeper meaning, we see that it’s really a cry for restoration, healing, and new life.

Through a study of the original Greek text, we discover that “remember” isn’t just about memory—it’s about being refashioned, put back together, and made whole. Just like the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold to become even more valuable than before, Jesus doesn’t just cover up our cracks—He restores us, making us stronger through His grace.

This message invites us to recognize Jesus as Lord, to bring Him every broken piece of our lives—our hurts, struggles, and failures—and trust Him to restore us fully. And as we step into the ministry of reconciliation that God has given each of us, we’re reminded that our mission is to share this hope with others: that no one is too far gone, and no situation is beyond God’s power to restore.

As we prepare our hearts for Easter, let this be a week of deep reflection and bold faith, remembering that through Christ, we are made new.
