By Celeste Lodewyk A group of 16 hard working and eager Marlborough Boys’ College students are looking for work to help raise $6000 for up and coming class trips. The boys are from Room 2, a special education unit for students with learning difficulties. With two planned class trips fast approaching, the boys have already begun working to earn their money by collecting sheep pellets and selling them by the bag, and are actively looking for more work.

Q – “What does it mean in Hebrews 4:13 when it says that Jesus is, “him with whom we have to do”? (CS – Blenheim)

The passage in total reads, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart; Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.” Many of the fine folks of Blenheim don’t want anything “to do” with God or Jesus or the Bible. Unfortunately for them, the Bible says that one day all men will “have to do” with God Almighty – he will not be ignored. This is a case were context is vital to understanding and answering the question. Verse 11 speaks of our faithfulness as Christians – we should be laboring to enter our eternal rest or heaven. This is not speaking about working for our salvation, but working for Christ because we are saved. Arriving in heaven with God being able to say to us, “Well done thou good and faithful servant…” Verse 12 mentions the power of the Bible and its ability to discern the true heart motives behind our works. The works of all true believers will one day be examined (I Cor. 3:13) – rewards will be granted for faithfulness and works humbly done with the right motive. The works of all unbelievers will also be examined at the Great White Throne judgment – works can not keep you out of hell, but they will be used to determine the degree of punishment in eternity. (Rev. 20:10-15) Verse 13 speaks of the eyes of Christ that are like a flame of fire (Rev. 19:12) that can instantly see through all the pretense and falsehood of man. Our heart and all our actions will be completely open and exposed before the eyes of our Saviour before whom we must all stand – this is the sense of the phrase you ask about. Knowing that we must all stand before Christ, 1) if you are not saved, be smart and trust in Jesus today as your Saviour; if you are saved, serve Christ faithfully as “every one of us shall give account of himself to God.” (Rom. 14:12)
