"Saying, This man began to build and was not able to finish."
Even though most of us are unable to remember our baptism since it was done when we were infants, that event marked the first building block of our future life in Christ. Over the years, we have continued to build upon that baptismal moment. It has not been an easy task, nor will it be so in the future. It has called for us to make commitment and sacrifices; a willingness to dedicate time, talents, resources, and everything that we hold precious, if we are to meet the demands needed to complete our service to Christ, knowing and trusting that he will supply our needs.
For Christians, the service we do here on earth in the name of Christ is a life-long commitment. It pales by comparison when we look at what Christ did for each and every one of us. We must continually build upon what began many years ago in our lives and work toward a finish, even though we know that finish won't be achieved here on earth.
Father, where you lead, we will follow. Guide us as we use our gifts in the building of your kingdom here on earth.
