Today’s Thought “A Common Denominator” G. Ward Ephesians 3 8 To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ, 9 and to enlighten all people as to what the plan of the mystery is which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things. Prior to this Apostle’s conversion experience unto Christ, Paul (then Saul) would be comparable to some of our great seminarians today. His knowledge of scripture was astounding, even causing his zeal for Holy God as a Jew to become a nightmare for any belonging to Jesus Christ. Thereafter, he would never consider himself better than any, even refusing an unrightful comparison to fellow believers or those exercising in rebellion. His sole desire was imitating our Lord (Eph.5:1-2). Moreover, he would marvel in being God’s instrument in explaining the Way, Truth and Life; knowing all that was studied in his prior life was culminated in this Wonderful Savior. We’d all do well to eliminate conversing about some appearing entirely repulsive; particularly as we’ve been found prior to our repentance – that bolsters our presumed standing; but love, without condition that always believes with hope (1 Cor.13:4-7).
