Avail the opportunity
“He was numbered with us and obtained a part in the ministry.” – Acts 1:17
A king who ruled over a certain country had a practice of going on rounds to the streets on any one of the days to identify the people in distress and help them out of their trouble. He found pleasure in showing concern for the needy. On one such rounds in his chariot he happened to see a man in dirty clothes and with sore legs. When the king asked him what he wanted, the man, without any hesitation replied that he would like to spend the rest of his days with the king. So, the poor man was taken to the palace in his chariot. He was treated for his sores and clothed in fine attire and he was fortunate to stay in the palace. What an unexpected privilege to experience royal life! All the others regretted that they had lost the opportunity of enjoying the special honor.
Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples and a follower of Jesus walked with him for 3 ½ years. He directly witnessed the miracles performed by Jesus. He heard all the teaching of Jesus. He knew pretty well that there is a hell to shun and heaven to gain. But it was pathetic that he betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver coins and lost everlasting heavenly life with Jesus. Then he went into a field and fell headlong, he burst asunder in the midst and all his bowels gushed.” (Acts 1:18)
Dear readers, we who have been saved and illuminated by Jesus, in no way can backslide. On any account should we be enticed by worldly lust to fall prey to sin. We must avail the opportunity and get ready while alive. It is of no use if we wail like the rich man after death. Bearing in mind the eternal reward promised to us, let us prepare ourselves to enter the glorious heaven for leading the royal life.
