It is amazing to me how little
effort we Christians commonly put into our work and service for Christ. When
the world puts on a dinner for a band of politicians, a red carpet premier for
an ensemble of actors, or an awards banquet for a varied group of athletes, the
world pulls out all the stops. They give attention to every detail of their
programs, they tirelessly rehearse every aspect of their events, and they
tenaciously promote and defend the importance of their causes. But in reality
their causes mean next to nothing compared to the surpassing greatness of the
Person we Christians claim to serve and promote. It is a shame that for much of
the church “okay” is good enough. There was a time when Christians were
expected to give Christ their best, whether it was their time, their effort, or
their sacrifice. And it’s past time to bring that expectation back. So this
week, give God your best. Go the extra mile, spend the extra dollar, and stay
the extra hour to make your service to Jesus Christ the best it can possibly
be.
