Will You Hear?

2 Timothy 4:1  

"I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, 

who shall judge the quick and the dead 

at his appearing and his kingdom;" 

   Jesus is the judge of the living and the dead. Some day our work will be tested, by none other than Jesus himself. As Christian we must do every task in such a way that we can offer it to Christ. We are not concerned with the criticism of men. The one thing that a Christian looks forward to is the, "Well done!" of Jesus Christ. If we all did our work in that spirit, the difference would be magnificent. It would save us from the touchy spirit which is caused by criticism; it would save us from the self important spirit which is concerned with personal rights and personal prestige; it would save us from the self centered spirit which demands thanks and praise for its every act; it would even save us from being hurt by men's ingratitude. 

   My Friends, The Christian should keep his life in order so that at any moment he is ready for the coming of Christ. The day will come when the kingdoms of the world will be the Kingdom of the Lord. Our work must be such that it will stand the scrutiny of Christ. Our lives must welcome the appearance of the King. Our service must demonstrate the reality of our citizenship of the Kingdom of God. Will You Hear "Well Done" when that time comes.

Amen!
