“The Son Of Man Is Going To Come”

 

Then Jesus spoke to his disciples. He said, "If anyone wants to follow me, he must say no to himself. He must pick up his cross and follow me. If he wants to save his life, he will lose it. But if he loses his life for me, he will find it.”

 "What good is it if someone gains the whole world but loses his soul? Or what can anyone trade for his soul? The Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory. His angels will come with him. And he will reward everyone in keeping with what they have done.”

"What I'm about to tell you is true. Some who are standing here will not die before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."

Matthew 16:24-28

Retirement is the time when some people let go and try to enjoy themselves. However, when we are not doing something important for our Lord, we are missing an opportunity of a lifetime.

Giving ourselves to the Lord through helping others takes self-denial, yet one day Jesus will reward that effort.

Follow the Lord, no matter your age, or where it leads you to.

Work for the Lord – His retirement plan is out of this world.
