The options are clear. We have the choice between two masters. Many try to serve two but in reality that is an impossibility. Matthew 6:24 “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” These words were spoken by Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, Himself.
The root of the problems we so often face has to do with never having fully established the question of who our master really us. Many say, ‘I’m not going to choose. Maybe sometime later.’ That in itself is a choice. I will follow myself for a while till a more convenient season. In that case then who is the master? We all have one without exception.
There is one Master who is life and leads us on the path of life, eternal life. That life is one of peace, joy, and righteousness, but includes trials and tribulations. This Master has promised to never leave us or forsake us. Hebrews 13:5
There is the other master who promises great things but cares nothing for us. He is a liar and the father of all lies. His work is to rob, steal, kill and destroy. Much of this he does through deception.
The first Master, Jesus, said, “…I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10
