Make The Word Of God
Fully Known
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.
Paul was not a sideline player. He was
not a spectator. He was a key player in spreading the Good News of
Christianity. What will your own tombstone say about your Christian beliefs?
Don’t make a
cemetery of your life by burying your talents.
