The Mystery of God Revealed, Part 4

What is ministry? Many believe that ministry is anything we choose to do in the name of Christ, but that isn't so. We are servants of the Most High God, and therefore we are successful in ministry when we faithfully carry out His plans in His way. Though we are undeserving of this privilege, He has given us the message of the gospel, unfathomable riches of grace which are freely available in Christ, and bid us to proclaim it and to teach one another to obey God and humbly submit to His Word. We carry out this work not only before the world, but before a cosmic audience of angels who praise God's unmatched wisdom as sinners bow the knee and redeemed saints grow in obedience and wisdom. Remember this as you toil in service of Christ: Your charge as a faithful servant is not to make God popular with the world, but to make Him evident to it.
