Matthew 25:21

I long to see so many things when I get to heaven. Most of all to behold the face of my beloved Savior, Jesus Christ. And what my heart would burst to hear is my Lord saying, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” In Matthew 25:21, we are reminded of the critical importance of faithful stewardship as we await Jesus’ return. Our Master commands us to wisely use our time, talents, and resources, investing them in the work of God’s kingdom. As we labor in service to the Lord, we are called to maximize what He has entrusted to us, whether great or small. Each day is an opportunity to sow seeds of faith, kindness, and generosity, working for God’s eternal harvest. And obedience to our calling is both a reflection of our love for the Lord and our commitment to His purposes. So let us not grow weary or lose heart. For no efforts are never in vain when done for His glory. And one day we will hear those cherished words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

Romans 8:15

The moment we receive Jesus as our Savior, we are set free. Freed from the bondage of sin with its fear, despair, and destruction. The Lord takes from us the spirit of slavery and replaces it with the spirit of a beloved child of God. Now we can approach our Master not with fear and trembling, but with love and gratitude. For in His grace, God sends His Holy Spirit to take up residence inside us. And the Spirit reminds us daily of our freedom through Christ so that we don’t return to slavery and fear. Because God doesn’t want us living in shame, defeat, and remorse. Instead, He wants us to live freely and with confidence. Confidence of who we are through Christ, adopted sons and daughters into God’s family. Sons and daughters who can approach the throne of God and cry out, “Abba! Father!”, and know He will welcome us with open, loving arms.

Romans 6:22

Even after we accept Jesus as our Savior, we still keep sinning. Why? Because we are fallen beings born with a sin nature. And that will never change until we are called home by the Lord. However, the power of sin to bind and enslave us was defeated at the Cross. Through His death, Jesus not only paid our sin debt, He also broke the hold sin has in our lives. That means instead of being slaves to repeated, purposeful, destructive sin, we are free to be slaves to Christ. To be a slave of Christ means abiding in Him and submitting our will to His. And it means living lives that reflect the goodness of our Master. Jesus purchased each of us at a great personal cost, and our desires should always match the One who gave His blood to redeem us. Paul and Peter joyfully called themselves slaves to Christ. For they knew the reward awaiting the servants of God, the gift of an eternity spent in His presence!
