WHAT WILL THEY SAY

“And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.”

Matthew 3:16, 17 KJV

What will they say about us when we die?  Will they say we were Christians and loved God?  More important than this what does God say about us?  When we die will He say He is pleased with us?  What about right now?  Is God pleased with us and the way we are living?

Many years ago I read an obituary in the newspaper about a lady who was a Christian and everyone said kind things about her.  One person said “She never said anything unkind or did anything unkind to anyone in her life.”  When I read that, it broke my heart because I haven’t always been kind.

Before I was saved and gave my life to Jesus, I hated everyone and said cruel and unkind things to them.  It breaks my heart to know how I hurt people before I was saved and even more important, I hurt God.  When I die, I don’t want people to say she was kind and loving.  I want them to say that I loved Jesus.

No, I am not perfect.  I fail Jesus and hurt Him at times like we all do but Jesus can see into my heart and He knows I love Him.  The desire of my heart and the goal of my life is to make Jesus happy.  If ever someone deserves to be respected, loved and adored, it is Jesus, the Saviour of the world!

All hail, King Jesus!  Worthy is the Lamb of God!  He is the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS!  O how I love Jesus.
