Reminders
Everyone has a different way to remind themselves what to do. Some like gadgets that cleverly synchronize over various platforms and then still they choose to ignore some of them!
Others are more old school and use ‘post-its’ and lists that clutter the kitchen or the fridge next to little artworks of dinosaurs. Remember to pick up Jonny at 3:30 next to the green dinosaur. Get ingredients of the recipe for tonight. Get milk. Pay that bill!
Some are totally in control and look very efficient all the time, but really need that holiday when they let the tour guide do everything for their minds to relax.
Others let life happen and if you spend time with them you get a feeling of eternity, but the deadlines come and go like the tides of the sea and you’d rather not let them finish a task for you because it will be done, eventually!
Apostle Peter had lived a full life, walked with Jesus on the water, felt ashamed about betrayal, recovered and received the Holy Spirit. He’d preached a wonderful sermon at Pentecost that saw over 3000 people get saved and then God started to use him for miracles with his friends, the other apostles. Even his shadow passing over people saw them healed miraculously – the light of Jesus in his heart shining so strong that it cast a shadow through his own human tent.
He is speaking of his tent here and that his time on earth is coming to an end. His death would remind us of Jesus – he was crucified upside down, telling the Romans he was not worthy to be in the same position as His beloved Lord Jesus.
He had just described how we obtain entry points into the kingdom of God – probably thinking of his own journey of faith and layers of Christian growth that God in his grace allowed him to achieve.
He was probably always painfully aware of his shortcomings, yet soldiered on with Jesus before him, beckoning him further out of the boat of his comfort and into the storms to walk on the waves with him.
2Pe 1:12 For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth.
2Pe 1:13 Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,
2Pe 1:14 knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.
2Pe 1:15 Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease.
How did Apostle Peter ensure that we will always have a reminder of these things?
Here are a few reminders that will keep us stirred up for Christ.
1. Communion. 1 Corinthians 11:24
2. The Law and the Prophets.
3. The books of Poetry.
4. The Gospels.
5. The Apostolic Epistles of Paul and letters like this one from Peter.
