The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example.Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881, British statesman, Prime Minister)
1 Thessalonians 3:6
But now Timothy has come to us from you and brought us good news about your faith and love, and that you always have good memories of us, wanting to see us, as we also want to see you. (HCSB)
Are we living with the future in mind? While on the subject, what is the period that we are speaking of when we speak of future? What brings this to mind is our subject today, and that subject is legacy. Are we living a legacy here that others can follow for future spiritual success? This also includes life here and not just the sweet bye and bye doesn’t it?
Look at the exchange between Paul and the Thessalonians. Timothy had come to the Disciples and brought them Good News about the Thessalonians that made them desire to see them, and also brought to the disciples the desires of the Thessalonians to see them too. We can see here two great legacies’ at work in the lives of two groups of people.
Our lives imprint the lives of others corporately and personally, and we should always strive to leave impressions of good intentions. Pleasant memories can really stir hearts in need during strenuous times, and we should leave a well large enough that others can see that even in our failures, we kept the bigger picture in mind which led us and will lead others to complete successful lives here…God Bless
