Commission in Meekness

4-25-2015
Ephesians 3:8 NIV

Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ,

The first thing is humility. The second thing is spreading the gospel and good news of God in everything we do and all the time. Both are our obligations for living by the word of God.

This means I'm the least of all. I'm not going to judge other's "righteousness". I'm just me in my sins and shortcoming. Worse than the worst and hence brought to my knees.

Grace is what you might receive yet not deserve. I don't deserve any of this happiness. It's more than I should have ever hoped for given my sin. But still blessed with open doors and privilege beyond the imagination.

I've been blessed. Despite my sin I have a commission. Pauls was in spreading the word to the gentiles. Mine is in doing so to all nations but.... Perceptibly through medicine. The language of healing can no doubt speak to others in powerful ways otherwise unspeakable. So fulfill this calling,  I shall. And with meekness I ought to go about it. Because none of the glory or power belongs to me. Its yours. All yours.
