Leviticus 20,21,22; Acts 20
Finishing Well …
Making Your Life Count For God
Scripture
24 But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.
Observation
The Apostle Paul was coming to the end of his life. The Holy Spirit had been telling him over and over again that what was facing him in the near future would be jail, suffering, and death.
“And now I am bound by the Spirit to go to Jerusalem. I don’t know what awaits me, except that the Holy Spirit tells me in city after city that jail and suffering lie ahead. … “And now I know that none of you to whom I have preached the Kingdom will ever see me again. Acts 20: 22-23; 25
Yet he didn’t shrink back. He continued to head toward Jerusalem even though the believers along the way begged him not to go.
What is your commitment to the Lord like? Would the above statement by Paul found in Acts 20:24 be a reflection of your life? Maybe better stated, “Would it be a reflection of God’s calling on your life”?
I am nothing like the Apostle Paul but this one thing I know – I want to finish my life well. I want to count for God until the day I die. I want to die on the mission field in some other country consumed with the Savior’s work. How about you?
