Stewardship and

That was the topic that the speaker of VCF Fellowship Teaching spoke about. Well I shall spare you the nitty gritty details details of my thoughts throughout the session. But this analogy is one of the things i took away with me.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the rocks. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.




The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."

The professor then produced two cups of water from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

Now what it shows is this.. To be good stewards of the average five hours that we have after taking away the time to sleep and go to work or school, we need to first put the big rocks of our life down. Then the rest can come in.

He must have been a brilliant man. But what it also says to us as Christians is that if we see our lives as being bought with a price,thus our time here on earth is God's. Therefore, should this time not be put to good use?

I will now leave that for your thoughts...
