“Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying, ‘Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise…’” (Joshua 1:1,2 )
Great leaders live among us doing the work God has assigned them to do, as in the case of Moses. But the day comes when the announcement is made, “My servant is dead.” That brings the question, “Who will take his place?”
God’s work is much greater than any one of us. When this generation of Christians passes from the scene the baton of leadership and service must be passed on to the next generation who must be prepared to accept the role of leaders, followers and servants.
Just as Joshua had been being molded for such an assignment, the present generation of Christians, who will pass from the scene, must be prayerfully evangelizing and preparing the future generation through discipleship and Christian training to carry on the great work of the church. Someone will take our place, whether or not they are prepared.
