Sowing What You Want To Reap, #4
The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
(Matthew 24:50,51)
We might be under the impression that when the Lord comes He will make us a new creation. We suddenly will be delivered from hatred and made a new creation in Christ.
The truth is, it is today that we are to be made a new creation, not after we die or when the Lord returns. When the Lord returns, what we have sown, what we have become, will be revealed, not changed!
Think about the parable of the talents. When the Lord returned He did not make the lazy servant industrious. Rather the Lord took his talent away from him and threw him into the outer darkness.
When those who had wrought miracles in the name of the Lord stood before Him, the Lord did not forgive their unrighteousness and alter their personality. Rather Christ drove them from His Presence because they were workers of unrighteousness.
We are going to reap exactly what we sow.
If we sow love we are going to reap love. If we sow hatred we are going to reap hatred.
If we sow joy we are going to reap joy. If we sow misery we are going to reap misery.
If we sow peace we are going to reap peace. If we sow conflict we are going to reap conflict.
If we sow patience we are going to reap patience. If we sow impatience we are going to reap impatience.
If we sow kindness we are going to reap kindness. If we sow criticism we are going to reap criticism.
If we sow goodness we are going to reap goodness. If we sow wickedness we are going to reap wickedness.
If we sow faithfulness then we are going to reap faithfulness. If we sow treachery we are going to reap treachery.
If we sow gentleness we are going to reap gentleness. If we sow harshness we are going to reap harshness.
If we sow self-control we are going to reap quietness and assurance. If we sow lack of restraint we are going to reap wildness and confusion.
It is impossible to sow hatred and reap love.
It is impossible to sow impatience and reap patience.
It is impossible to sow criticism and reap kindness.
It is impossible to sow wickedness and reap goodness.
It is impossible to sow treachery and reap faithfulness.
It is impossible to sow harshness and reap gentleness.
It is impossible to sow wildness and confusion and reap self-control.
To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless, To the pure you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd. (Psalms 18:25,26)
It is absolutely true that God's love covers a multitude of sins. But that still does not change what we are.
To be continued.
