The Prize For Which He Died

Have you ever heard the phrase, "That Christ may have the prize for while He died"?

I have heard it may times.  For the first time though, I actually started processing it.  John 3:16... ya know, the verse everyone knows?  For God so loved the WORLD that He gave His only son that WHOEVER believes in Him may not perish but have eternal life.  Do you see that?  The WORLD!  Now God doesn't need us.  I am very aware of this.  But He has asked us to be the ones who make this verse go into action.  EVERYONE glorifying God is the reward He deserves.  It is our job to help make that happen.  This is why Christ died.  Do we even care?  I really think if His glory is our highest pursuit we will want to make sure everyone around us has the same common goal.  Do you really believe that Christ is worthy to have the prize for which He died?  If so, then let's do something about it!
