Scripture: Ephesians 3: 8-13
I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power. Although I am less than the least of all God’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
Scripture Commentary: Jesus had the heart of a servant; Make yourself available to God as his servant
God will give you opportunities to tell others about Christ. It doesn’t matter if you’re an apostle or an evangelist. With opportunities he will provide ability, courage, and power. Make yourself available to God as his servant.
You may feel your role is minor. You may be right. Don’t forget the difference God makes. Draw on his power and do your part. Faithfully perform the special role God has called you to play. God has chosen us to be Christ’s representatives on earth. Paul challenges us to live lives that are worthy of being called Christ’s very own.
People are watching your life. Can they see Christ in you?
