The Greatest Compliment Of All
Categories: Church of Christ Bulletin ArticlesWe all love to hear a genuine compliment because it makes us feel good about ourselves to have the approval or admiration of others if only for a few moments.
By contrast, the apostle Paul looked at what others thought of him or even what he thought of himself as “a very small thing” (1 Corinthians 4:3-NKJV).
He concluded:
“He who judges me is the Lord” (1 Corinthians 4:4-NKJV).
He knew that one day our inward heart will be fully revealed, and “then each one’s praise will come from God” (1 Corinthians 4:5-NKJV).
When we see our heavenly Father on that great judgment day, there won’t be any greater compliment than:
“Well done, good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:23-NKJV).
