"Well done good and faithful servant"

In Matthew 25 we read a story of a man who goes on a journey, entrusting varying amounts of wealth to his three servants. Two of them invested what they had been given wisely and were greeted with "Well done, good and faithful servant" on the mans return, and were invited to "Come and share in (the) Master's happiness". The third had not bothered to invest what he had been given and when the man returned - he lost everything!

This picture of primarily speaks of Christ! What have we done with Christ? have we believed in him and trusted him for salvation? if so we can look forward to enjoying eternal happiness with our Master. But it also speaks of all that God has given us, the precious truths of the gospel, the time and money we have, the families we belong in and relationships we have... how do we daily invest all we have been given for God? Do we seek to glorify him in all we do and say? do we seek to share the gospel with those around us? do we hold onto money and time like it belongs to us?

The sermon on the mount gave us an incredible insight into a kingdom where our values and motives and choices were challenged to the core, and on Wednesday last week, we were left with a choice? are we going to choose to live and invest our lives for God or for ourselves? are we going to build our lives on God's word or on the culture we live in?
