redeeming time and making the most of every opportunity is our focus

1. Redeemed Time – Jesus

Jesus is the ultimate example of redeeming time. Throughout His ministry, He stayed laser-focused on His mission. In

John 9:4, He said, "As long as it is day, we must do the works of Him who sent me." Even though He had just three years of ministry, He used every moment to fulfill His Father’s will. Jesus prioritized time in prayer, time with people, and time for rest, showing us how to live fully in the moment while staying focused on our purpose.

2. Redeemed Time – Esther

Esther was placed in a royal position for a specific time and purpose. She could have chosen to remain silent when her people were threatened, but instead, she acted. In Esther 4:14, Mordecai reminds her, "And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" Esther seized the moment, recognizing that her time had a divine purpose.

3. Lost Time – Samson

Samson, however, lost his focus. God gave him great strength, but he wasted his time pursuing personal desires rather than God's call. In

Judges 16, we see Samson got distracted from his mission. Samson failed to redeem the time, and it cost him his strength, his freedom, and ultimately, his life. Though he repented at the end, much time was lost due to his distractions.
