Dear Young Christian:
As followers of Jesus Christ, we are expected to “serve the Lord with gladness” (Psalm 100:2). Some are called to preach, as Paul said: “Woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel” (1 Corinthians 9:16). Others may not be called to preach, but in one way or another, every believer is to “do the work of an evangelist” (2 Timothy 4:5).
There is a place of service and a work for each Christian. None can look to the Master and say, “I do not have the privilege of doing something for You.” We may not all have five talents — or even two — but we are all responsible for putting to good use what He has given us. God has beautifully arranged spheres of labor, so as to meet all the diversity of capacity and talent among His people. To each believer He has given power and opportunity to do something.
What are you doing for Christ? What are you doing for the salvation of souls? What are you doing for the help of other believers? This week, let’s say, with the Apostle Paul, “Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?” (Acts 9:6).
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
We would love to hear from you.
