What preachers have lost
sight of today is “the judgment seat of Christ,” says Dr Leonard Ravenhill. They have forgotten that
one day they will give an account of their stewardship to their Master, as they
stand before Him. What He has given to us we will give back to Him with or without
interest.
What a difference it would make if we all had an eye
on the judgment day! Rev Dick Lucas encouraged young preachers always to keep the "eschatological perspective" before their minds, as men who must give an account. Martin Luther spoke of the two days in his life - THIS day and THAT Day.
Our service will be revealed on that day, and our work will
be fully known. Nothing can bring greater seriousness to our preaching than that
thought.
