March 22, 2005The Ministry of Life - Part I
Ministry in this passage quite simply refers to service. As ministers we are servants, set apart to administer the truth of God's promise (covenant) fulfilled in Jesus Christ to those who need hope, forgiveness, truth, and life. It is...
Second Corinthians 3:6 says the letter (of the law -- as written on tablets of stone) kills. The letter of the law is legalism resulting in guilt and condemnation, both which "kill" the heart and wound the spirit. But the Spirit of the Living God we serve, the One who gave us the promise of life in Jesus, is life. And as Jesus said in John 10:10, "I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." When Jesus is involved, no ordinary life will do.... And no ordinary ministry or service will do either. We cannot pick and choose who we will serve in His name. God does the choosing. We simply obey. The life Jesus gives is an abundant one, inscribed in His own blood on hearts of flesh. The price He paid was a high one indeed. What a privilege to be His ministers.
