- INS:What have you done since?
-
- Matthew 16:21-28
-
- If anyone desires to come after Me, let him...follow Me. Matt.16:24
- While attending Oxford University, a young medical student named
- Wilfred Grenfell heard D.L.Moody preach in London. As a result of the
- message, he was converted to Jesus Christ. After Grenfell completed his
- education, he went to the Labrador Peninsula in Canada as a missionary.
- Several years later when he saw Moody agaain, he introduced himself to
- the evangelist and thanked him for leading him to Christ. Moody
- replied, "I'm glad to hear that, but what have you been doing since?"
- Dr. Grenfell told him with great joy how he had been serving the Lord
- in Labrador. "Do you have any regrets?" Moody asked him. "No, "
- Grenfell answered. "The only regret is for the person who comes to
- Christ for salvation, but then does nothing for Him."
-
- Sometimes when believers give their testimonies they speak in
- glowing terms of having received Christ 20, 30, or 40 years ago. We
- rejoice, of course, whenever we hear of the saving and keeping power of
- Christ. But an even greater blessing is shared when fellow believers
- tell about how they have been serving the Lord, not only down through
- the years but also at the present.
-
- If you have come to Christ for salvation, that's wonderful. But the
- important question now is the one Moody asked Dr. Grenfell:"What have
- you been doing since?" Jesus said, "By this My Father is glorified,
- that you bear much fruit"(John 15:8). That's what we should be doing!
- -R.W.D
-
- O let us be faithful to Jesus, The faith we confessed let's renew;
- And ask Him this question each morning: "Lord, what will You have me to
- do?"

- NO CHRISTIANS WHO HAVE NOTHING TO DO....
