Episode 192: Matthew 25

Today's meditation is on Matthew Chapter 25

Because I do not know the day or the hour that Jesus will return, I stay awake and alert. I prepare as though I will live a long life here on earth, but I live as though he will return any minute.

I am a good steward of what I have been given... both with material things and with giftings and abilities. I do not hide what I have been given in fear of losing it all, but I put my resources to work and increase what I have been entrusted with. I long to prove myself as a loyal and trustworthy servant and faithful steward.

When Jesus returns, I long to hear him say, "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!"

In God's economy, the one who has will be given more, until he overflows with abundance. But the one with hardly anything even what little he has will be taken from him. 

When Jesus appears in his majestic glory, with all of his angels by his side, he will sit on his glorious throne and separate the righteous from the unrighteous.

Thank God for the robe of righteousness I have in Christ Jesus. I could not earn it on my own, but it was freely given and I gratefully receive it. I am blessed by the Father and have a special place in his heart. I will experience the full inheritance of the kingdom realm that has been destined for me from before the foundation of the world. 

In the meantime, I will do good whenever and wherever I can. I will feed the hungry, and give the thirsty something to drink. I will provide shelter for a stranger, and provide clothing for those in need. I will look after the sick and visit those who are in prison. 

In the eyes of Jesus, whatever I do for the least of my brothers and sisters, I do for him. There could be no better reward than a life of eternal bliss with God.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
