Ephesians 4:12 NASB "for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ;"As we sat and talked, you could see his face light up! Sitting with my mentor, a 91 year old pastor, he shared an email he received. It stated that because of his teachings, his church was growing fast and others were coming to know the Lord. Today's verse speaks of building up the body of Christ by equipping others for work. My pastor friend had done just that. He had taught others and they were now out there teaching others! He wasn't jealous of their success, or envious of how God was blessing them, he was genuinely happy for playing a part in God's plan. Let's not make it about us, but about sharing Jesus with others, that's if we first know Him ourselves. Get to know Him, read God's Word, talk to Him daily, learn His Promises and then share Him with others. When it's not about us, but about Him, the body is made stronger! Let's help build it up today! peace, tom
