Are You Being Made Less, To Make All See?

"But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves are found sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not! For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I MAKE myself a transgressor. For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ: it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain."   
(Galatians 2:17-21)

"To me, who am less than the least of all saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to MAKE all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be MADE known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, ACCORDING to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him. Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.” (Ephesians 3:8-13) 


In latter times, it is tempting to rebuild what we, in Christ, have learned to destroy. The comfort of things remembered, experienced as opposed to pressing toward the mark for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. It is for your glory from God!
