Eternal Perspective

"Follow me and I will make you..." (Matt. 4:19) That was Jesus call to his first disciples. It contained a command and a promise. The promise followed the command. Invariably, if they refuse to follow him they would never experience the making. The promise serves as a motivator to the demands of the injunction. Sometimes it's really difficult to follow Jesus, but when we realise that our making and success depends on it, it could serve as a motivation to allow him make us.

What was he going to make them? He was going to make them fishers of men. They were fishers before He met them but His calling and promise was going to lift their life to eternal perspective. They will be doing their work from an eternal perspective. Most times the calling of God may not make us to leave our jobs and careers but will definitely give eternal perspectives to them. By eternal perspective I mean seeing whatever we do from God's point of view. This we do by finding out whether what I do and how I do it will bring glory to God. With such attitude we will begin to work with the motive of bringing glory to God.

It's time to allow Jesus make us and by that bring glory to God through your work.
