Christ Powerfully Works in Our Gospel Ministry

February 28, 2013 - Colossians 1:28-29

1:28		我 們 傳 揚 他 、 是 用 諸 般 的 智 慧 、 勸 戒 各 人 、 教 導 各 人 ． 要 把 各 人 在 基 督 裡 完 完 全 全 的 引 到 　 神 面 前 ．
1:29		我 也 為 此 勞 苦 、 照 著 他 在 我 裡 面 運 用 的 大 能 、 盡 心 竭 力 。

 ²⁸ He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. ²⁹ To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.

Paul witnesses how Jesus Christ powerfully works in his life that he proclaims, admonishes, and teaches everyone to know Jesus and to grow into full maturity in Christ. Christ becomes the only message of Paul and Christ is also experienced by Paul as Christ's Power accompanies his ministry for preaching the Gospel. 

My Lord Jesus, let me experience Your daily Presence and Power in my life by the Spirit as I learn to serve you faithfully day by day. Let me taste Your riches and power in my life - continually transforming me to be like You and to bring people into maturity in you.
