The Review

READ: 2 Corinthians 5:1-11

We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done. —2 Corinthians 5:10

Imagine going to work one day and being greeted by your boss, who says, “Come by my office at 9:30. I’d like to talk to you about how you’re doing on the job.”

This could be a nervous time for you as you think about what your supervisor might say. You wonder, How does my boss think I’ve been doing? Could there be a promotion with a pay increase? Or could I lose my job? Am I going to hear, “Well done” or “You’re done”?

As important as this kind of meeting is, the Bible speaks of another, far more significant review. After this life is past, we will stand before our Lord. Paul wrote, “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad” (2 Cor. 5:10). We will not enter that future evaluation fearful of losing our salvation, nor will we desire personal benefit or human approval. Instead, we will be eager to hear the Master say, “Well done, good and faithful servant” (Matt. 25:21).

The challenge before us as followers of Christ is to serve Him with excellence now so that we can hear His words, “Well done” then. Based on the way I am living today, what kind of review will I get when I see the Savior?

The day will come when we will stand
Before our Judge, God’s Son;
Have we so lived that He will say,
“Well done, My child, well done”? —Sper

Service done well here on earth will receive a “Well done” in heaven.

Bible in One Year: Genesis 10-12; Matthew 4

Rock Star....??!! Oh, yes!

The day will come when we will stand
Before our Judge, God’s Son;
Have we so lived that He will say,
“Well done, My child, well done”? —Sper

We cannot hear these words too often so that we don't get lost in our daily living. Thank you, Mr. Mayor!

[The Mayor]

When I read them I always have to think about my life and what I am doing. It always gives me pause.

[pollywog]

Good Morning Mayor... a thought provoking devotional today.

[pollywog]

....precisely! I immediately stopped and thought what am I doing with my time?... what is the most important thing in my life?... Polly

When I read them I always have to think about my life and what I am doing. It always gives me pause.

[The Mayor]

Amen!

[jaycee]

Me too, Polly. We are not guaranteed the next moment or hour of living so we need to always remember! I’m freezing this morning.....4 degrees! I am pretty tired of this terribly cold weather but I’m not in control...LOL!

[jaycee]

Good Morning, I think!
Found this frozen Weeping Willow

here to freeze anything! 5 degrees...Brrrrr!
I am looking forward to Spring in a big way!
