2 Kings 23:1-37; Lamentations 3:1-66; 1 Timothy 6:1-21
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:10
An aged believer lay on his death bed. Nearing the borderlands of eternity, he turned to a comforting friend to say, “I’m saved, I have no fear of dying. But what can I say at the judgment seat of Christ about the wasted years of my life?” Let us not waste our blood-bought lives in the pursuit of self and sin. The promised day of review and reward is soon to dawn. Then will we all appear before the judgment seat of Christ. —Arnot P. McIntee
Not at death I shrink or falter,
For my Saviour saves me now;
But to meet Him empty handed,
Thoughts of that now cloud my brow. —Charles C. Luther
