Mark 10:31
This is such an important concept. The rewards we will experience in this life and the next for our service to Christ will not work the way we might think. What does Jesus mean? How will the rewards work? Well, you can look to Jesus’ teaching elsewhere to find the answer. Some will have little and do little with it. Others will have much and do little with it. These will not be as richly rewarded. Those who do much with what they have been given will experience the greatest reward, regardless of how much they may have. Richness in the things of this world is not the only consideration, or even the primary one. A person’s knowledge of the Holy One, and what they do with it, is of great value.
Heavenly Father, thank you for being the best at deciding these things. Our petty standards would never work out. You have a perfect line by which to evaluate us. You can show us the true measure of our lives. You alone can give us value and meaning. You are our meaning and purpose. Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
