Engaging in the Lord’s Work

What does 'Occupy till I come' truly mean for believers today? Robert Bosley sheds light on this biblical mandate, emphasizing that regardless of our circumstances, we are called to fulfill the work God has entrusted to us. Whether we find ourselves in favorable or challenging times, under Christian or pagan governments, our responsibilities as Christians remain unchanged. We are to engage in the Lord's work, which includes nurturing our families, proclaiming the gospel, making disciples, and being a light in the world. Our task is to bring the gospel's light to bear on our families, cities, and countries, demonstrating that God commands all people everywhere to repent. The concept of 'occupying till He comes' is akin to Paul's instruction to Timothy to preach 'in season and out of season.' It means we are to proclaim the Lordship of Christ consistently, regardless of convenience or timing. As ambassadors of Christ, we carry the message that the kingdoms of the earth belong to King Jesus, and we are to call the world to acknowledge His authority. This steadfast commitment to the gospel is our duty in every circumstance, urging the world to recognize and submit to the sovereignty of Christ. Luke 19:13 (NKJV): "So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come.'"
