What will be your legacy?
As Christians we must look no further than the life of our
Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ as our legacy model. Will people remember you as a man of God?
Will they recall Christ-like characteristics in your words and your deeds? How do you handle conflict in your life? Are you thought of as quarrelsome or as a
peacemaker? Are you considered by others
as prideful or humble? Do your words
build others up or tear them down? Is
your heart filled with the love of God and the desire to share that love with
others or are you driven by selfish, hedonistic desires?
Being a man of God is a full time job. You may be a reflection of Christ on Sundays,
but if someone encounters you on another day and you are a quarrelsome, prideful,
hedonistic jerk, which character trait will prevail?
Sadly, your legacy will be not only remembered as the jerk,
but you can now add hypocrite to the list as well!
