Goodness (2)

‘Well done, thou good and faithful servant.’
Matthew 25:21 KJV

1. When you stand at the judgment seat of Christ, you’ll have one final opportunity to hear the word ‘good’: ‘Well done, good & faithful servant.’ Note, He doesn’t say well thought, or well intentioned, but well done! You’ll be rewarded for what you do. On that day, God will zero

2..in on your actions, not your opinions or intentions. Goodness shd be the last thing you think about when you go to bed & the 1st thing you think abt when you wake. Bible says, ‘Even small kids are known by their actions, so is their conduct really pure & upright?’ (Prov 20:11)

3. You know what you’re really like on the inside, but the only you others see is from the outside. One Christian leader writes: ‘Talk is cheap. No matter how much you claim to be a good person, the only public measuring stick is your actions. You may think that by being good..

4...you’re not doing a lot of good. But never underestimate the power of even 1 person to exert tremendous influence by simply doing the right thg, at the right place, at the right time.’ Mother Teresa always shied away from the limelight. She saw herself as a servant, not a star

5. Her greatest desire wasn’t to be famous, but to be faithful. As a result, she ended up touching the lives of multitudes even though her only thought was to help the next hurting person. Among her favourite Scriptures were these words given to us by Christ: ‘Truly I tell you,..

6...whatever you did for one of the least of these…of mine, you did for me’ (Matthew 25:40 NIV). So today, seek to do good.

2 Samuel 1-2, John 16
