Matt 28:19 “Go out and train everyone you meet, far
and near in this way of life...” (Msg)
A great investment, people with money may be
wondering what to invest in at the moment, most bank accounts can’t keep up
with inflation, is gold, wine, or artwork a good investment? What about
property or shares? For many of us this isn’t a burning issue but if we have no
money can we still invest? We all have time. Jesus spoke of our need to invest in
training people. We need to be trained throughout our lives and give training.
Life is one long training course. I have come back to these last words of Jesus
for a second time today as I will be preaching this Sunday on this passage. Will my
investment in others have eternal value? Will others be touched, strengthened
and caused to reflect by what I do and say and how I listen to them? Training others can take up a great deal of time, I have spent six and half hours this week with two guys individually listening, praying and reflecting but could I have spent that time any better? I doubt it.
