What did you do with Jesus Christ, the Son of God? What did you do with all those resources that were given to you by Him?
Dear brothers and sisters!
You are welcome to our daily word for the day. God’s word for you today is this: on the day when you will stand in front of God (and that will definitely happen), you will have to answer two very important questions.
Firstly, God will ask you – what did you do with Jesus Christ, the Son of God? I congratulate you if you have already received Jesus as the Savior and the Lord of your life, because the Bible declares that all those who believe in Him will not be judged or condemned.
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. (John 3:18-19)
Secondly, God will ask you – what did you do with all those resources that were given to you by Him?
How will you answer these questions? It is very important to answer these questions now. That is why we invite all members of the church to actively serve God. The desire to serve God will prompt the believer to think – what can I do? What do I know and how can I use that for the benefit of the Kingdom? What do I have already, and what can I share with others? How can I use my experience in serving other people, in honor of the Lord?
I wish that everyone would answer these questions with joy, by saying:
„Lord, You gave me two talents. And even though that seemed little in my eyes, I have invested them, and here are two more talents that I have for You.”
To such people God will say:
“Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!” (Matthew 25:21)
Ministry, or serving God, as we already discussed, is the giving of yourself to meet the needs of the saints as well as the unbelievers in order to help them take their next step toward God.
We can only give what we have. This is why God has given every one of us different gifts and talents so that we are equipped to serve others. God has given to each of us time, health, gifts, talents, abilities, and material and financial blessings.
Ask yourself, in what way can I participate in the life of the church to actively help other people take their necessary next steps toward God?
- Many people have not yet repented of their sins, but through serving we can help them to take that necessary step toward God.
- Many people have repented but are not assimilated into God’s family yet. We can serve such people and assist them to come closer to God by assimilating them into God’s family.
- Many people are full-fledged members of God’s family, but they are not growing spiritually, and they do not bear fruit that glorifies God in their lives. Such people can only come closer to God through our ministries and serving.
Let’s all take an active part in this process, for it is only then that we can sincerely pray and say: Let your kingdom come, let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven!
Wishing you all the best for the day!

I’ve yet to find a scripture that literally says
GOD ASKED “WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY SON JESUS “
End quote’
Please send me that scripture if you know where it is written!
PLEASE
Thank you for your question and love for the truth.
Please try to read the statement within its context and it will give you the biblical sense of what was implied.
This statement is not a direct quotation out of the Bible but an implied statement that is supported by the passage that follows it:
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. (John 3:18-19)
And in John 1: 9-12, we also read about Jesus that He: …was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name…
God in His grace and love will give everyone an opportunity to either receive, or reject His love demonstrated towards us all through His Son Jesus Christ.
He is the way, the truth and the Life (John 14:6), and there is no other name under name under heaven by which we can be save apart from the name of Jesus (Acts 4:9-12)
In 1John 5:11-12 we read:
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
When Jesus died on the cross, there was another man on each side of him on two other crosses. One man realized who Jesus was. And asked Him for forgiveness and to that man, Jesus said,
“Verily, I say to you, this day you will be with me in paradise.”
The other man rejected the mocked and missed the opportunity to be with Him in eternity.
So, the question is clear, at before the judgment throne, everyone will be checked to see if their name is written in the Lamb’s book of life based on their response to the love of God demonstrated Jesus Christ.
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire (Rev.20:15).
The decision of what we do with Jesus, the gift of God or how we respond to the Love of God in Christ Jesus will determine how we live now and throughout eternity.
I hope this has bring some clarity.
God bless you Christina.
