Isaiah 62:6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence,

If you are a fan of Game of Thrones you will recognize this quote from Night’s Watch Commander Jon Snow, “And now my watch is ended.” It was with this word he ended his vow to the Night’s Watch. It was a covenant between men and duty, that was not to be broken except by death.

1 Corinthians 11:25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” ESV

Let me ask you this very pointed question; do you have the right to say your watch is ended?

We often drink the cup of remembrance and with it say “Our watch has not ended.” Only a physical death in this life we live releases us from oath we took when we were set to be watchers on the wall.

Have you kept silent? Have you not mentioned the Lord day and night?

You have taken the cup of remembrance but what did you remember? His death, His resurrection, His promises, His grace, His mercy, His forgiveness, have you remembered all that? How about your knight’s watch? Have you forgotten your oath my brothers of the Knight’s Watch?

Hebrews 6:11-12 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Our watch is not over.
