Pay Day: No Cross No Crown!

Revelation 22:12 "And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me,to give every man according as his work shall be".

Job is perhaps the best biblical example of a man who suffered without truly understanding why he had suffered such tremendous loss.God did not leave Job to die in his despair."And the Lord turned the captivity of Job,when he prayed for his friends:also the Lord gave job twice as much as he had before,and the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning.So Job died,being old and full of days".No matter what you have lost,suffered or sacrificed, the end of the matter shall be better than the beginning.

My reward is with me-In that day,the Lord shall give every man according as his work shall be.For all who wait for his appearing,God is our great reward!He that overcometh shall inherit all things;and I will be his God, and he shall be my son".For the Lord himself shall desend from heaven with a shout,with the voice of the archangel,and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air:and so shall we ever be with the Lord."

Christ promises to return,and He promises to return soon.When Jesus comes back,He will reward those who have been faithful.More importantly, He will give the gift of eternal life to all who put their trust in Him.Christian should look forward with eager anticipation to the day that Christ returns. They also need to live as if this day could occur at any moment.

  1. Saints there is a work to be done,and all of it won't be pleasant.There is some suffering in this job,and most of the time your work won't be appreciated.But Jesus is coming with rewards in hand for all.Remember serving the Lord will Pay off after while.
