This is near to the end of time as we know it but though it is important to know it is almost here, should we be concerned with the how and when, or should we be busy out attempting to win souls?The more people we bring to Christ and His Kingdom before it becomes too late, is the amount of crowns we will have laid up for us to cast at the Savior's feet when we get there.
Don’t fool yourself that you will receive a bigger mansion or more servants or be a greater leader, if you win more souls here. Your place in Heaven is determined by how much you serve here on earth. To serve others is the main goal of any true born again believer. We must be greater servants here, to be greater in position there.
Jesus explained it all in His explanation of Who is the greatest. In Matthew 18:1-5, Mark 9:33-37, and Luke 9:46-48, Jesus likened the believers in His Kingdom to come as little children, who innocently and trustingly let us lead them where we may, because they innocently look up to us and trust us to do what is right for them. We should be the same way in our belief and trust in Jesus. And just as them we should willingly step out and help those around us in whatever way we can. It may be monetarily or it may be with our time and effort.
Jesus then, in all three passages, goes on in the following verses to warn us about the judgement for anyone that leads one of these little ones astray, meaning both the little children and the children who like us are learning about the whole meaning of Jesus and what He did for us. This is a warning about children and Believers alike. No one should cause either to sin against God by their actions or their behaviors. Let us act in public view as though everyone was watching at all times, because the Father God is always watching.
In all things we should act as though we are servants of the Lord Most High and serve our brothers and sisters around us. The greatest servant among us will be the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
