It Is He
Whom We Proclaim
I am now rejoicing in my sufferings for your sake, and in my
flesh I am completing what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of
his body, that is, the church. I became its servant according to God’s
commission that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known,
the mystery that has been hidden throughout the ages and generations but has
now been revealed to his saints. To them God chose to make known how great
among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ
in you, the hope of glory. It is he whom we proclaim, warning everyone and
teaching everyone in all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in
Christ. For this I toil and struggle with all the energy that he powerfully
inspires within me.
Colossians 1:24-29
The apostle Paul received a higher calling from God than
persecuting Christians. He was called to proclaim the Good News, which he did
until the day he died. He was spared to serve God. What has God entrusted you
to do?
Knowing God gives meaning to life,
and obeying God gives purpose to life.
