Patience may be a slow driver, but she is sure of the destination. - Anon
Jesus may have said “the least in the kingdom is greater than John the Baptist”, but at least John was in the kingdom. Hmm!
They won the race and finished in World Record Time, and for many their record still stands. These folks did great feats in our eyes. We hold them in high esteem, even celebrate them. But in the race of life and faith in the eyes of God they are no better or greater than us. For with God the great ones are those who repent, follow Jesus, and finish the race. It doesn’t matter to God in what place you finish, it could be dead last. What matters is that you persevered and finished. The reward is a crown of life like everyone else before you and a heavenly reward. I’ll take that any day!
Until tomorrow
Pastor Botts
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness….” – II Timothy 4:7-8
