Christ-Pleasers

From: The Christian Shepherd: 2003

Jeremiah 45:5

Listen to This Article

“Seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not” (Jer. 45:5⁵And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the Lord: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest. (Jeremiah 45:5)).

What should we seek? To be well pleasing unto Him, so that whatever niche He calls upon us to fill we may fill it to His glory, and this in view of the judgment seat. What a joy it will be to receive His approval in that day. If we learn to live as Paul did with the judgment seat of Christ before us, we will not be men-pleasers, but Christ-pleasers.
