Good Legacy

Play for the Audio Version


I vaguely remember taking one of my Communication classes. It was my last semester of college. I can't remember the professor's name. Or, the actual name of the class. I can kind of picture in my mind the setting and what the class was like. Except no images of faces come to mind.

I do remember one assignment we were given. It apparently had such a deep impact on myself.  We were to write our own obituary.  If you do not know what that is. It is a brief summary of what a person's life was like before they died. It is usually published and can be read in the obituary section of their local newspaper.

I guess I did OK on the assignment. I don't recall any bad vibes from the situation. So, my guess is it was adequate enough.i mean the assignment must of had such a deep impact on me. To remember this after almost  20 years! (  Member when I said both God making you remember things at the right perfect time)  And, that's all I wanted to say about that.

What comes to mind is this. If I were to leave this world now? What kind of legacy would I be leaving behind? How would I want to be remembered?
Would I be remembered as a person that lived to tell people  Jesus?

Did I choose to love instead of hate? Did people  even know I am a child of God  Do people even know that you are a child of God? ( if you know Jesus that is.) 

Friends, I want to leave  that kind of legacy! What about you? Do you wanna leave that kind of legacy?

Matthew 28:16-20

The Great Commission

16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
