What Will You Hear Him Say?

Luke 19:17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

In this passage all the servants were given a job to do. The Master was going on a journey and promised that He would return.  When He returned each servant was called before Him to give an account of what he had done while the Master was gone.  

Each servant was rewarded according to his labor.  The servant who turned his pound into ten pounds was given ten cities; the servant who turned his pound into five pounds was given five cities, and the servant who did nothing received nothing.

We learn from this parable that every servant of the Lord will face a judgment, but not a judgment of whether they are saved or not. This judgment will be the, “Judgment Seat of Christ,” and it is for Christians only.  At this judgment every Christian will give an account of how they served the Lord and will then be rewarded accordingly.

What you are doing for the Lord is very important and will be even more important when you stand before Him at the Judgment Seat of Christ.  The reward for faithful service will be more than material rewards for we will also hear Him say, “Well done thou good and faithful Servant.”  

Reflection—What will you hear Him say at the Judgment Seat of Christ?
