On the brink of my retirement after thirty years in the academy a friend asked me, \u201cWhat is your greatest accomplishment?\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I instantly recalled a treasured remark made to me by my provost: \u201cThis won\u2019t be the same university without you.\u201d\u00a0 Perhaps that will be my singular accomplishment: I made a real difference.<\/p>

Don\u2019t we all want to say with June Carter Cash, \u201cI\u2019m just trying to matter?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

To the extent that I \u201cmattered\u201d, I am gratified . . . and humbled.\u00a0 \u00a0Only that which I did in, by, and through the Spirit of God really mattered, I guess.\u00a0 But I still ask myself, \u201cWhat did I actually do that ultimately matters?\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

My junior colleagues told me that I mattered because I mentored them, that I was authentic, my true self, their servant, and, thus, a disciple of Jesus. I loved my students with the love of the Lord, serving them with all the creativity I possessed, making no secret of my inner motivation: to follow and to serve Jesus by serving them.  <\/p>

All that mattered, I guess.<\/p>

The university recognized my efforts with the designation \u201cDistinguished Teaching Professor,\u201d but it was an affirmation of my resolve more than of my success.<\/p>

In the lab, I unraveled some of the mysteries of God\u2019s creation in my scholarship, first glimpsing a few truths that are significant. By seeking knowledge to honor God with the work of my hands, I worshiped Him. <\/span><\/p>

That mattered too, I guess.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

But I believe that the greatest accolade came from a colleague overheard to say, \u201cSam\u2014he\u2019s a real Christian.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

This remark came not from my success but, rather from what God did in me following my failure when I was fired as department chair.<\/p>

I was deeply hurt when the outgoing Dean inexplicably refused my reappointment for a second term, an incident that became instantly infamous on campus.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Nevertheless, by the grace of God at work in me over several weeks, I was able to forgive her.\u00a0 \u00a0Strangely, after that experience I had a credibility I had never experienced before, perhaps because my behavior was so very different from the natural, expected response.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

As I look back, I see again that there still remains no room for pride, as Paul reminds us, \u201cWe have this treasure in earthen pots.\u201d(2 Corinthians 4:7)\u00a0 All that I may have accomplished was due to the surpassing greatness of the power of God in me\u2014not by me.<\/p>

Yet I received honors beyond my accomplishment. I attribute this to a phenomenon that was explained to us in the days of the judges: \u201cI will honor those who honor me, [says the LORD]\u201d (1 Samuel 2:30).<\/p>

What I learned in nearly thirty years in the academy is that one\u2019s efforts will matter only when they are founded on Jesus Christ and built of that which is fire resistant and golden.\u00a0<\/p>

Those achievements really matter.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
