The Most Important Thing

From: Moody's Stories: Volume 2 By: Dwight Lyman Moody

John 5:25²⁵Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. (John 5:25); John 14:19¹⁹Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. (John 14:19); 2 Corinthians 5:9⁹Wherefore we labor, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. (2 Corinthians 5:9)

A certain John Bacon, once a famous sculptor, left an inscription to be placed on his tomb in Westminster Abbey;

“What I was as an artist seemed of some importance to me while I lived; but what I was as a believer in Jesus Christ is the only thing of importance to me now.”
