Don’t you long to hear Christ say, “Well done, My good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Master’s home!”? A “Well done!” from Him will make this life on earth all worthwhile. What does God expect from us so that we can faithfully earn His “Well done!”?
Expectation 1—Dream about winning the ultimate prize. (See Matthew 25:14-30.) When people have something on their mind, it shapes the whole direction of their life. Jesus has told us that when He returns for us He expects to find us doing what He asked us to do. Keeping that utmost in your mind is a strong motivator. It will shape your life if you dream about winning the ultimate prize—Christ’s “Well done!” You must want it, and long for it. In fact, that is one of the marks of salvation.
Expectation 2—Seek to be the greatest Christlike servant. (See Matthew 20:28-30.) Imitation is one of the highest forms of compliments. The Apostle Paul said, “Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ” (1 Corinthians 11:1). Is your life worth imitating? Do you reflect your Lord in all that you do?
