** Scripture: Ephesians 5:16 **
"And redeeming the time, because the days are evil."
Time is money! The slogan underscores the importance of time efficiency. However, that statement is not entirely true. If you lose money, there is still a chance you can make money again, even that much more. However, if you lose time, no matter how short, you will not be able to get it again. In other words, time is much more valuable than money.
Paul reminds the Ephesians to live differently from unbelievers around them. He likens the difference between light and dark as, a sharp contrast. One of Paul's advice is that they use the time as possible, not to satisfy lust of life in all its forms.
Meaning of the word 'redeeming' is selected in the Indonesian translation is not as rich as the Greek word Paul used. In the original language, the word means 'redeem, use the maximum'. This indicates that word before they know Christ, has a lot of time wasted. Now it's time redeem the futility of using the time can be used effectively and efficiently. Never again fill it with things that are not beneficial to the kingdom of God, but fill it with the attitude, words, and actions are correct, both to others and to God.
Do we have to use time effectively and efficiently? Do our lives have a positive impact for the Kingdom of God?
THE MOST IMPORTANT IS NOT HOW LONG WE LIVE,
BUT HOW THE IMPACT OF OUR LIVES IN THIS WORLD
