Stewardship…
Results of a Redeemed Life
JUST COME
T
he other day I was looking for a certain hymn. Turning to the hymnal’s index, I noticed that
many hymns begin with the word, “Come.” “Come We That Love the Lord,” “Come Thou
Long-Expected Jesus,” “Come Ye Thankful People, Come,” and dozens more.
That makes sense when you think about it. Throughout the Bible, God invites us to come to Him.
During Sunday worship and private prayer, we in turn ask God to come to us.
“Coming” means leaving where we were. For Stewardship, it means getting out of bed Sunday
mornings to go to church. It means leaving the dinner table to get to choir practice. It means
walking away from the recliner to rake leaves for shut-ins. It means moving three pews up to welcome
a visitor. It means driving bags of groceries to a food pantry. For some, it could mean driving
hundreds of miles from home to help rebuild after a natural disaster.
“A body at rest tends to remain at rest, unless some force acts to move it.” That is Sir Isaac Newton’s
first law of motion. For Christians, that force is God’s command to us to love our neighbor. Come!
