SCRIPTURE
27 For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done.


OBSERVATION
Jesus is coming back one day and He will reward us for what we have done. Rewards are different from salvation. Salvation is not a reward for anything we have done or could ever do. It is not something earned — it is a free gift of God. But after salvation, it is clear that our level of commitment and contribution is directly proportionate to the rewards we will receive.


APPLICATION
I need to be more aware of serving and laying down my life and my goals for others. One of the paradoxes of Scripture is that by laying down our life, we find it. I must continually seek out ways to give and serve others.

PRAYER
Lord, open my eyes to see others — to see them as precious commodities that You love and desire me to serve even as you served. Help me to see people the way You see them. Amen.
