Definition: In the New Jerusalem Bible, "AfterTask" refers to a process that occurs after a person has completed their work in the Kingdom of God on Earth. It's described as being done with joy and a willingness to give up all other earthly pleasures. The purpose of this 'aftertask' is to glorify God through our lives in the Kingdom and to prepare us for the great reward we will receive when we come to Jesus Christ. This aftertask involves not only the physical actions of living for Him, but also the emotional and spiritual aspects that lead up to the ultimate victory. To be truly 'afterTask' means to live a life that demonstrates an attitude of surrender and faithfulness towards God. It's about living with an expectancy of receiving blessings from God in this world and eternal reward from heaven when He returns. The word itself appears 3 times in the Bible, first in Ezekiel 14:20-22 where it describes the time of 'afterTask' as a period during which God will be active in His people's lives. The second occurrence is found in John 14:23 where Jesus encourages those who have left Him to follow Him after He returns to give their lives to Him. Overall, the 'aftertask' refers to a process by which believers can prepare themselves for their future as they seek God's will and purpose through living in harmony with Him.
