 A Privilege to Serve Christ!
By: Robert A. Searles

    "And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor , and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in un belief. And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. This a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief." 1 Timothy 1: 12-15.

    What a privilege and an honor it is for any one of us who by nature are sinners and blasphemers of God, to be chosen and called of God, and placed in a ministry for his honor and glory.
 
To preach or teach the word of almighty God is the highest calling in the universe, and to assist others to preach or teach the word of God is equally a high calling of God. Not that we should be puffed up and proud; but that we should humbly thank God that we can work together for him as his servants, for his glory.We can all say with Paul as in verse 15 of 1 Timothy 1: "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world t save sinner; of whom I am chief."
