SOLD
FOR 50 PENCE
Several years ago, a preacher from a distant town accepted a
call from a church in Leeds. Some weeks after his arrival, he had an
appointment that made him to board a bus to another part of the town. When he
sat down, he discovered
that the driver
had mistakenly given him his balance in excess of 50 pence. As he considered
what to do, he thought within him, 'You'd
better give this money back. It would be wrong to keep it'. Then another
thought came, "Oh, forget it, it's only 50p; who would worry about this
little amount, after all the bus company makes so much money on fares; they
will never miss it. Accept it as 'a gift
from God' and keep quiet. "When he was getting down from the bus, he paused
momentarily at the door, and then handed the 50p to the driver and said, 'Take;
the balance you gave me was over'. The driver, with a smile, replied, ‘Aren’t
you the new preacher in town?'
Our lifestyles are the only Bible some people will ever read.
This is
just a subtle example of how much people watch us as Christians, and will put
us to test! Always be on guard -- and remember
-- You carry the name of Christ on your forehead and shoulders once you call
yourself a Christian.
“Let your
light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your
Father which is in heaven.” {Matt 5:16}
Men are
watching us very clearly and closely as children of God and children of the
light.
Our light
needs to shine, if it is not shining then it is not light but darkness.
So let
your light shine enough that people will identify and recognize you with Christ.
Don’t be
a secret agent/detective follower or ambassador of Christ.
We should
represent God at all time, place , situation as the bible says in {2 Cor 5:20}.
You
should often ask yourself the question:
What will Jesus do in this situation ? If you
are sincere with your answer then you will do the right thing.
I Pray
you will be good ambassador of Christ; heaven will not loss a single soul
because of you lifestyle, dressing, utterance or any actions in Jesus name.
Instead your life shall win multitude into heavens and on the day of Judgment
there will be lots of testimony of “Thank God ! It was your life that rescued
me from destruction” That will be your lot in Jesus name.
Watch your
thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch
your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
