At some time, we may
ask that God would take me and give me rest and then I remember those whom I
love and see the lives that Christ has called me to, then too remember parable
of the beggar and the rich man, one to paradise the other to perdition. What a
selfish request that I ask; rather to be
by Jesus’ side than doing His work on earth. What life can I bring to
Christ’s redemption before this time of life with them ends?
Paul had
contemplated this in Phil.1:20-24 he realized that he would leave this world
when Christ calls him and until that time, he would continue to live out the
life that Christ has given him.
To live is Christ
and to His glory, we reflect Christ’s love and live his life of redemption to
our brothers and sisters of man that they may know through us His love and
salvation is for them.
To live as Christ
and to His glory, we reflect Christ love and the power of his resurrection to
the brothers and sisters in Christ, that they may know that the trials and pain
that is endured are but a passing in time that leads to eternal life in Christ.
When Christ championed Death, the cutting of the Reaper to
the redeemed is life in Christ there is no sting. The slow cutting of the
Reaper from this world for those unredeemed is mercy that they may call to the
Champion and live.
