©07/21/2002 Jim Welch Scriptural references for: July 21 Verbatim references: None Eternity is a very long time and where we
spend it depends on how we spend the earnest of our inheritance while
we live our brief life on earth. Esau sold his birthright for bread and pottage
of lentils and lost his place in the everlasting Kingdom of
Heaven's pages of glory. Brethren, to each of us, who are born of God,
God has given an earnest of inheritance; a treasure of great value; a
talent; and when the Master returns, He will require each of us to give
an account of how we have invested the talent He gave
us. Woe be unto him who hides his talent under a
bushel of earthly cares or who sells his earnest in exchange for
earthly gain. Blessed is he who uses his talent for the sake
of Jesus Christ. |
