After many amazing movie successes, director Steven Spielberg decided to use his talents to try and capture an unforgettable story from the horror of the Holocaust; he called it “Schindler’s List.” It’s the story of industrialist Otto Schindler who used his business and his fortune to save the lives of hundreds of Jews who otherwise would have been victims of Hitler’s “final solution.” The movie ends with hundreds of those he saved gathering to thank him. But as they pay tribute to him, he begins a heartbreaking calculation. He looked at his car and said, “Look at this car. I could have sold it–ten more Jews. Look at this jewelry–five more Jews. This pin–one, maybe two more Jews.” He melts into tears, sobbing, “I could have done more. I could have done more.”

I’m Ron Hutchcraft, and one day I will stand before my Jesus and evaluate with Him how much I lived up to the purpose He put me here for. Will it be a Schindler moment? “I could have done more.” The Bible says that at the Judgment Seat of Christ, each person’s work will be shown for what it is…the fire will test the quality of each man’s work. If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward; if it is burned up, he will suffer loss” (1 Corinthians 3:13-15 ).

Will there be people in heaven because of you? Have you used all you could of what He entrusted to you for things that will last forever? We can’t have any of those past years back, but we can make the rest of our years the best of our years and think about the more we could do while there’s still time to do it!
