A challenging thought:

Many first century Christians died as martyrs.  When they died well, they were a powerful advertisement for the hope of resurrection.  One day, we, too, may have the honour of dying well.  In the meantime, we have the challenge of living  thewell.

The President's Blog:

“Who died and put you in charge?” The question usually comes as a belligerent challenge. Most people have strong feelings about who should be in charge. Many of them seem to think it should be themselves.

During the time of His ministry on earth, Jesus had to speak sharply to His disciples as they squabbled about who was most important and who should have the place of greatest prominence in the Kingdom. They didn’t learn from Jesus’ example that the best and most effective leaders are servants first.

Near the end of His teaching ministry, Jesus gave his disciples specific teaching which still has a strong application for His followers today. It had to do with how we are to behave while we are waiting for Jesus’ return to gather His church to Himself. Part of God’s strategy has been to keep the timing of this great event secret. No one knows just when it will be so we need to be ready all of the time.

It is so easy to absorb the values and expectations of the secular culture around us. A culture which often values leisure over work, power over influence, being served over serving and so on. Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised about this because things like leisure, power and being served are their own reward. For the follower of Jesus, the reward comes later. Of the master who returns to find his servant busy with his work, Jesus says “I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.” (Matthew 24:47)
