GOD’S GLORY IN THE FACE OF CHRIST
Keywords 4:6
For God, who said, "Let light shine
out of darkness,"made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light
of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
1.
The ministry we have is given in God’s
mercy. Because of that we take courage. It is the ministry of the word of God.
It is not a human thing. We do not convey it as a human thing or in a human
way, but rather as a holy thing. In Paul’s time,
there were those who preached something other than the gospel. They did so with selfish motives. They
distorted the truth to fit their ideas or make it easier for people to accept.
Paul was not like this. He taught the pure gospel as the truth, plainly and
with a clear conscience before God.
2. Not everyone would accept the
truth. Many people in this age are perishing, blind to the gospel and remaining
in unbelief. But the gospel is the display of the glory of Christ. His glory is
nothing less than the glory of the creator God, who spoke all things into being
in the beginning. God shines his eternal glory into our hearts when he gives us
the gospel. In Christ, we see the glory of God on full display. Our ministry is
preaching this gospel of glory to a dying world.
Prayer Lord, your gospel is a holy thing.
It is God’s glory revealed in this world.
Bless me to be a steward of your glory and teach your word today.
One Word The
gospel is God’s glory
