“And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”
Luke 14:14
Suppose a boss was to say to an employee, “we really appreciate what you are doing around here, but we have decided to change how we pay you. Starting today, we are going to pay you later after you retire.” Would the employee jump for joy? Certainly not, that is not the way things work in the world, we like our payment now or at least every pay day.
But did you know that God promised to pay us later? And He asked us to be happy about it. Jesus comment that our ultimate reward for the good things we do in His name comes after we die. He said in our text today, that whatever we do for the Kingdom shall be rewarded at the resurrection especially when it is done to those who cannot repay us.
Surely, the Lord gives us comfort, love, and guidance today, but what wonderful things He has planned for us in the future. This may not be the way we would have planned it; we sure don’t enjoy waiting for things. But imagine how glorious it will be when we receive our rewards in Jesus’ presence. What a grand time we will have as we enjoy what God has reserved for later.
