What is the one thing you would give everything up for? Do you have a goal that defines your life? Is there a legacy for you to leave behind?

But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. (Acts 20:24 ESV)

The Apostle Paul makes the statement above to the church leaders at Ephesus before he starts his long journey to Jerusalem. He says this knowing that his life’s work will ultimately cause his demise.

He says all that his life has become in the name and power of the gospel will be worth it as long as he could continue to give his life as a testimony for Jesus Christ, his Savior. I wish that on a good day that I could say something in the likeness of what Paul said to the leaders at Ephesus.

However, I know that I can’t, but I long so hopefully that one day soon I could. Nothing else in life really matters besides our testimony of faith in our Savior, I just pray that you and I can not only realize it, but live it out fully.

Live like nothing else matters but the good news of God’s grace in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is where our hope lies and the person by which we our lives are fulfilled in anyway, shape and form.
