How Do You Treat Your Reward?

    First, “Google” “Alex Ovechkin, Stanley Cup, and Jimmy Fallon.” Ovechkin is a Russian ice hockey player with the Washington Capitals. How’s that for a statement on the end of the Cold War? A Russian playing for the Washington Capitals? He is considered one of the greatest players in the NHL, nicknamed the “Great Eight” and “Ovi.” As you probably know, the Stanley Cup is the trophy for the ice hockey champions and Jimmy Fallon is the “comedian” with the Tonight Show.

    Back in June, Ovechkin brought the Stanley Cup to the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and they all drank from the Stanley Cup. Apparently, things weren’t going fast enough, so the others on stage lifted up Fallon so his face would be completely inside the top of the bowl of the Stanley Cup. 

    I, personally, find that disrespectful and apparently the Hockey Hall of Fame did too. They have asked the NHL players to treat the Stanley Cup trophy with more respect. This stunt on the Tonight Show just capped a summer full of “keg stands” as the trophy has traveled around different places.

    If you are a Christian, you have Deity dwelling in you, plus you currently possess the “reward” of eternal salvation. How are you treating your reward? The English word “reward” is used 25 times in the NT and Matthew especially likes it. But the Hebrew writer was concerned that Christians might not appreciate their reward as they ought. He tells them in 10:35 not to “throw away” their confidence in Christ, which has a great reward. What had they been doing?

    Back in 6:1-6, the Christians had turned their backs on Christ or were on the verge of doing so and were “crucifying to themselves the Son of God and putting Him to an open shame.” In 10:29, the Hebrew writer uses even more blunt terms to express how some Christians were treating the Deity Who dwelt in them. They were “trampling under foot the Son of God.” They were “regarding as unclean the blood of the covenant by which they were sanctified.” And, they were “insulting the Spirit of grace.”

    That’s worse than drinking beer out of the Stanley Cup! If you are a Christian, respect the reward that is within you. Keep your heart and your life pure by staying focused on Christ and walking with Him every day.
