"Do you want to Serve Jesus
in Heaven ?"
Sounds like a silly question, asking if you want
to serve Jesus when you get into heaven. Ask any Christian and i am sure
they will say- of course i do. But there is a string attached to the level
of eternal service you will be given in heaven
You see, to serve Jesus alot in heaven, you have to serve
Him alot here on earth now. If you are living your life everyday for God's
Kingdom, then at the Judgement Seat of Christ you will be rewarded with
responsibility and service in heaven for all of eternity
On the other hand, if your doing very little for Jesus
in your earthly life, you will be assigned very little service in eternity.
Now you may be thinking, what's the big deal, i will be in heaven anyway.
Yes that's true , as a believer in Jesus Christ you will live in heaven.
But 5 minutes after you arrive there you will want to do something for
Jesus, to serve Him . And what you do there will depend completely on what
you do here
Are you investing your life in long-term eternal matters,
or short-term earthly matters ? So let me ask you that question again.
Do you want to really serve Jesus in heaven ? If your answer is yes, then
spend your earthly time, talents and resources on eternal matters. Your
eternal investments will last forever, and at the Judgement Seat of Christ
you will hear Jesus say " well done thy good and faithful servant"
And that day when Jesus will be returning to carry you
to your heavenly home in the New Jerusalem is coming very soon !!!
have a blessed day, Gary
