"Now I rejoice what I am suffering for you, and I FILL UP in my flesh what I still lack in regards to Christ's afflictions, for sake of his body, which is the church. "
Oswald Chambers recap: The Christian worker. Identify with your Lord. It's not the strength of a man's personality that brings people to Christ but rather Christ in us!! If we preach the effects of redemption on human life INSTEAD of the revelation regarding Jesus the results in those who listen is not new birth but refined spiritual culture. The Spirit of God cannot witness to it.
Ouch.
What chance does the gospel have of getting through our personality? We must not glory in men but rather in Christ our Lord.
FILL UP with him alone and point to him alone.
Awesome. We discussed this in our theology class this morning. Amen!
