Rm15

Paul's passion was to share Christ with those who had never heard of the Messiah. He lived his life, not for himself, but for those he desired to reach.

The gospel compels us to live for others not ourselves! The gospel demands that we give up our selfish pursuits and choose to love and live for others. Many of us have this idea totally messed up. We are somehow convinced that the gospel was given to us to make our lives better.

WE are not the "end game" for the gospel. The good news has come to us so that we would have life and forgiveness, SO THAT we would share that life and forgiveness with others. WE are to be vessels. WE are to be conduits of God's grace for others.

Who knows Jesus because of us? Don't be the end. Be the beginning. Be a conduit for others.
