Jim's Devotional - September 30th

September 30th

In Matthew 25 Jesus told a parable about 3 men who were entrusted with a sum of money. Two of the men used the money to make a profit; one did not. Jesus said to the two men in 25:21, “His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’”

We may not receive many accolades in this life. However, there is a promise to the faithful servant. A servant will be rewarded in the continuing life with the incorruptible body.

The greatest joy for the servant will be when he sees Jesus. He will take his reward and cast it at the feet of Jesus because serving is all about Jesus. Revelation 4:10&11, “the twenty-four elders (REPRESENTING THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THE NEW TESTAMENT SAINTS) fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying: 11 “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.”
