After listening to an old country song called 'If Jesus comes tomorrow - what then?' it made me think ... "yes, what would I do if Jesus turned up tomorrow?"
What would I say if he asked me, "what have you done with the life I have given you?"
I thought of the parable of the talents, (Matthew 25:14-30), and thought how much have I put aside for God? Not as much as I should probably, but I will stand in Jesus.
The truth is, I don't know what I would say. I must admit the thought of meeting him face to face amazes me and *scares me. My instinct would be to think on the spot and try and say something amazing.....but hopefully, I will be truthful and say, "I just believed in you Lord and did my best."
My faith is this. While I was a sinner, Jesus loved me enough to go to the cross for me. He saved me from my faults and failings, and he will come again to take me home. Not because I am good, but because he is more than good, he is my Saviour.
This is how I understand my God.
Read for yourself, see what you think.
*Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
fools despise wisdom and instruction.
