“BULDING CATHEDRALS”

 

Three men, all engaged at the same kind of work, were asked what they were doing.

 One said he was making five dollars a day. Another said that he was cutting stone.

The third said he was building a Cathedral. The difference was not in what the men

were doing,  they  were  all at the same  work, but  only one  held  in his mind that

he was helping build a   great  Cathedral. Life meant more to him than to his mates, 

 because he saw further and more clearly.

 

For most of us, our pilgrimage through life will last, on average, about 70 years.

Some will get more, some a lot less. The question is how much of a  mark will you

leave  in the years you have left?  Inside  all of us i s this deep desire  to make

our life count, a  desire  to do something significant while we're here.

 

Maybe you know that restlessness inside that says, "I want to make a greater

difference with the rest of my life than I have made until now." Then you need

 to read the Word of God from Daniel 12:3. “And  they  that  be  wise  shall 

 shine  as the  brightness  of  the firmament;  and  they t hat t urn  many  to

righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. It's God's roadmap to making the

greatest possible mark you can make with the one life you have.

 

The way to have a life that matters forever is to "lead  many to righteousness."

If you  belong to Jesus,  you  need to  see your life-assignment  as God  does -

you're a person with a message to deliver. The significance of your life depends

on how faithful you are in delivering it. In 2 Corinthians 5:19, the Bible says, God

"has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's

ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us."

 

The message: "Come to Jesus and get the relationship with God you were made

for." Your assignment: "ambassador" - Jesus' personal representative to the people

where you work, where you live, where you go to school, where you shop. You're

 there to take some  of  those  people to  heaven  with you.  How are you doing?

Maybe you say, "I'm afraid to tell them about  what Jesus.  I might mess it up."

 

God doesn't n need your perfect  presentation  to reach the heart of the person

you care about. He does need  for  you to tell them  about  Jesus. The only way

you can fail in your mission is to  remain  silent.  Maybe you're not delivering your

message because you fear the risks - the risk of building a relationship with lost

people, of getting started, of being rejected. But "God has not given us a spirit

of fear." Let God show you that the greatest risk of all is that you will lose this person

forever because they never got the message about Jesus.

 

Are you cutting stone, making a profit, or building Cathedrals. “Let your light so shine

 before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is

in Heaven.”
