Wise Investment
Thursday, May 10, 2007
 "Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'" Matthew 25:23Jesus is sharing a pretty blunt truth here with the disciples. He's just finished sharing about the signs of the end of the age, he's letting them know how important it is that they share the good news with the best of there ability. It's like Alex Ferguson giving a pep talk before a Manchester United game, except in a soccer game, there is only points and pride at stake. Here, lives are at stake. Soon after this, they have the Last Supper, and we know what happens then... The question it makes me ask myself is: What has God given me to invest? In Jesus time, a talent was worth more than a thousand dollars. But I think Jesus was alluding to more than money. What calling do I have? What gifts has he given me? If I'm called to Preach and evangelize, and raise up leaders and workers for the harvest field. Then am I only investing a little of my life to see those things happen, or am I laying my life on the line? When I'm cut, do I bleed those things? Am I reading books about those things, am I being trained further, am I actually doing those things, or do I just talk the talk? Where is the fruit of those things? I know there is a bit of fruit, but I want my master to say, "Well done, Good and faithful servant!" Not Ok job Jit, or lukewarm performance Jit, or even to have it taken from me and to be thrown outside. "Lord, Anoint me to honour your call on my life! Here am I send me. Fan in to flame the gifts you have given me, Let there be much fruit, Let the harvest be plentiful! Amen." Bradah Jit @ 11:45 AM |
