Thought for Today - April 6
Ambassadors For Christ - By: Robert A. Searles
Life on planet earth is preparatory for the real life in heaven. It
is a back porch, or mud room, as it were, where we learn how to behave
and cleanse ourselves before we are allowed into the parlor. It is here
that we hear and learn of God. It is here that God's grace is freely
offered to us, and we either receive it or reject it It is here that we
are saved.
We who are saved have been allowed to remain on
planet earth after we were saved so that we might perform the work and
ministry of ambassadors for Christ so that others might hear the good
news of the gospel and be saved. We must all stand before the judgment
seat of Christ some day and give an account of how we have performed
this ministry.
We have all been given the tools with which to work and we have been given instruction in the use of these tools.
“If
any of you lack wisdom let him ask of God that giveth to all men
liberally and upbraideth not and it shall be given him.” James 1: 5
We have all been given talents and abilities, all differing according
to the will of God. Some day we will be asked, where is the talent and
ability that was given to you? According to what we have done, and how
we have trusted and obeyed, and according to our faithfulness or
unfaithfulness we will have to answer to our Lord.
How wonderful
on that day would it be for our Lord to put his hand on our shoulder
and say to us, well done thou good and faithful servant, but how ashamed
we will be if we are found empty handed at that day with no crowns to
place at our Savior's feet.
Let each of us, therefore: “Take
heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou
fulfill it.” Colossians 4: 17.
