"But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord, Jesus---the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God."
--Acts 20:24
In a way every Christian is a leader. We may be leading our families. We may be leading a small group of new believers.
The Apostle Paul was giving his final words to the leaders of the church of Ephesus. Paul had spent time ministering to them, helping them, praying for them,. But he was now going away.
Paul was saying to them, these are things I want you to remeber, things that describe your walk with God.
"But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord, Jesus---the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God."
Paul said don't get sidetracked, stay on course, focus on your race and not on others race.
Tell others about God's love, share the Good News of the Gospel. Lead people to Christ.
Life can be short and we are to live it to the fullest. Love God, Love your neighbor. Love your family and friends.
