The Power of Christ revealed in Paul

“In all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God:

In much patience,

In tribulations,

In needs,

in distresses,

In stripes,

In imprisonments,

In tumults,

In labors,

In sleeplessness,

In fasting;

By purity,

By knowledge,

By long-suffering,

By kindness,

By the Holy Spirit,

By sincere love,

By the word of truth,

By the power of God,

By armor of righteousness on the right and on the left,

By honor and dishonor,

By evil report and good report;

As deceivers,

And yet true;

As unknown, and yet well known;

As dying, and behold we live;

As chastened, and yet not killed;

As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing;

As poor, yet making many rich;

As having nothing, and yet possessing all things.”

That is quite a resumé!

Christ and His servant Paul loved people even when it hurt.
