It’ll be movin’ day! Are you ready?

One day, we will be with our Lord for all eternity.

This week we ponder the question, “How do we anticipate eternity?”

In our text, 2 Corinthians 5:1-15, we are reminded of the truth that someday believers will be free of physical ailments, trials, and troubles. Every Believer will receive a glorified body when Jesus raptures the church. Knowing that we will see the Savior and that our deeds and motives will be evaluated ought to motivate us to serve Him faithfully.

At the Judgment Seat of Christ, it might surprise us who will be rewarded for faithfully serving the Lord. We will witness sincere, humble and diligent servants of God receiving their just rewards. You see, they toil faithfully behind the scenes for the glory of God rather than seeking their own or man’s approval. And then we will be blessed to see how they lay their crowns at the feet of Jesus.

Maybe we can catch a glimpse of believers’ faces full of shame because they served with improper attitudes and motives. Yet still, we may witness embarrassed believers who are unable to look into the eyes of the Savior due to their lack of service – they were simply hearers of the Word, but not doers.

As your life is reflected in the glowing image of Christ, you may be witnessing yourself. Will you be found faithful?

“And that He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them, and rose again.” (2 Cor 5:15)
