WHOSE
SOUL DO YOU HOLD IN YOUR HAND?
By
Robert Courtney
“For
where two or three have gathered together in My name, there I am in
their midst,” (Matthew 18:20).
Jesus tells us in this verse that where we have gathered
together in His name, He is with us. We need to remember this as we
come together to study His Word and worship Him. We need to insure
that we come for the express purpose to study and worship Him as He
instructed us to do. However, as we gather together to worship
Christ, we need to remember that He has given each of us an
additional
responsibility to perform. He has given us each other.
“Let
the Word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching
and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual
songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God,” (Col.
3:16).
As we worship, we are teaching and admonishing one
another. Teaching is not regulated just to a teacher or preacher;
its responsibility is given to each of us. How we respond to this
responsibility shows how serious we take this responsibility. We
need to ask ourselves how we sing, how we pray, how we participate in
class and how attentive are we in listening to the lessons taught.
Our response is seen and heard by those around us. It we neglect
our responsibility; we have put someone’s soul in jeopardy as well
as our own. Just as we are to let our light shine in our daily
lives; so too, are we to let it shine in our worship to Christ (Matt.
5:16). We are all responsible for each other and to each other.
Whose soul is in your hand?

Our faithfulness to the Lord is measured by what we do,
and not what we say we do, or say we ought to do. “___be thou
faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life’
(Rev.2:10).
“___
and they were judged every man according to their works” (Rev.
20:13).
How does your faithfulness, and mine, measure up?
