21.01.2022 , -- ' ' . ’ Most Christians will probably describe the apostle Paul as an extraordinary person. He turned the world upside down for God, devoting his life to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, leaving no stone unturned. Despite being often threatened, beaten, and even thrown into jail a couple of times, ...nothing ever seemed to dampen his passion to spread the gospel. What a wonderful example to all of us. Yet if one reads the Bible, it does not appear that this was the picture Paul had of himself. In Ephesians 3 Paul gives us a glimpse of what he saw, as he stood in front of the mirror: I was the least qualified of any of the available Christians. He realised that he could do nothing on his own, and that all his accomplishments were ultimately the work of God. In reading Paul's letters, it quickly becomes clear that Paul was very much aware of his own shortcomings. He realised that he could not do anything in his own strength. He knew from his own life story that he only became the person he was, because of God’s grace. He used to pride himself in persecuting and killing Christians, until that life changing day on his way to Damascus. He knew that he deserved nothing, but that God had intervened in his life and turned everything around for him, therefore he did not take pride in any of his work, remaining humble. Humility is born when you realise who you truly are and what you deserve, and that you are where you are now because of God’s grace. The fact that people like Paul, you and I, are able to find our way home, has very little to do with our own abilities, but it is all about what Jesus does. This is why we can’t take credit for our lives; God deserves the honour. This is why humility should always be part and parcel of a Christian life. What is even more significant to understand is that not only is it all God’s work but that he loves and values us so much that even when we turn our backs and walk away God does not stop pursuing us. Yes, even without us asking like Donkey in the story of Shrek, jumping up and down crying: Pick me! Pick me! God is prepared to leave the 99 sheep behind in pursuit of the one that ran off. That is why Paul was amazed that God wanted to use him: God saw to it that I was equipped, but you can be sure that it had nothing to do with my natural abilities. (Ephesians 3:8 MSG) God chooses ordinary people like us. Yes, God does use ministers, pastors and people with big voices, but He also uses ordinary people (with shortcomings) like us. If God could use Paul who had killed dozens and dozens of God’s children, then God can use you too. Yes, God wants to use you, even if like Paul, you think you are the least, worth so little. Here where you are. God wants to use you here where you work, walk and play. ~
