There was this high achiever, very competent and smart. Changed quite a number of jobs because he was being head hunted by big companies. So there was this day, he was on his way for an interview with a bank, for a high position, of course. While at the platform of the train station, he saw a pickpocket tried to steal an old man wallet from his pocket. The pickpocket was so fast that this young man could not respond in time or to do anything about. So he went up to this old man and said, "Sir, your wallet has just been pickpocketed." Just then, the train reached the platform and the young man needs to board the train in order not to be late for his interview. So he turned back and said to the old man, "I am so sorry, i dont think i can be of any help to you." Saying that, he turned and went into the train.
There were three seats infront of him when he was in the interview room. On the left side was the Managing Director of the bank. On the right side was the Accounts Manager. The middle was vacant. So while waiting for the Chairman of the bank to come in, the three men had a light hearted chit-chat. After a while, the door opened and the Chairman walked in. The young man got the shocked in his whole life. The chairman was the old man whom he witness his wallet was being pickpocketed in the train station. A surge of embrassment swept through him. In his mind, he wished that he could turn back time so that he can do something to help the old man back then.. but it was too late. He has failed to recognise the important man.
Seated down, the chairman looked into the eyes of the young man and said, "what can i be of any help to you?"
So did the young man get the job? You figure it out yourself.

well, alot of people, yea, including the christians, in fact, im talking about the christians, failed to recognise who is truly the King. And they shortchange themselves of the blessing that God intended for them. They come in late for service, take their own sweet time to come cell group. Leave half way during the bible study.. having their handphone on during meeting, or worse still, answer the phone when the speaker is still speaking. Well, who is the King? They failed to recognise that they are to worship the King and not the other way round.
Well, some may argue that the young man did not see the chairman before, how would he know that the old man would be the chairman of the bank? Well, let me tell you, you dont have to treat someone in regards of their status. Even God doesnt do that. By recognising Jesus as King, you will serve His people. and, you will never know, someone who needs help could be an angel. Dont always expect an angel is here to help you. There are irritating angel who will come and help you bear the fruit of long suffering, there will be poor angel around to teach you how to give. There will be needy angels around that will enlarge your compassion. and if you meet the angels' need, you are an angel to them! so everyone is everyone's angel. haha
Would you recognise Him even if He is going to stand right in front of you?
The key here is, be nice to everyone. In everything that you do, do in the reverence of the King.
Give Him the due honor, reverence. Because He is KING and He deserves it!
Jesus, You're worthy to be praised!
