Remember
“There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it: Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man” (Ecclesiastes 9:14-15).
This account illustrates very beautifully the following verse: “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9).
The “great king” is a picture of Satan. The “little city” is a picture of the world, and the “poor wise man” is the Lord Jesus. He was once rejected and nailed to a cross. Through that work there has been a great victory won over sin and death and Satan. Yet, for the most part, He is despised and forgotten. However, by a few He will be remembered today in the breaking of bread. Will you be one of those? He has requested, “This do in remembrance of Me” (Luke 22:19).
