Ephesians 3 Are you humble, but bold for Christ?

8To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ, 9and to bring to light what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things; 10so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places. 11This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him. 13Therefore I ask you not to lose heart at my tribulations on your behalf, for they are your glory.

Paul was humble: "the very least of all saints". Are you humble?
Grace was given: to Paul and to us!
To preach: "unfathomable riches of Christ". Are you spreading the Word?
To bring light: "what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things". God had foreknowledge, a plan to bring salvation through Christ.
To be made known: wisdom of God! Is there anyone wiser?
The eternal purpose: "He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,". Salvation!
In whom we: "have boldness and confident access through faith in Him". Are you bold for Jesus?
 I ask you: "not to lose heart at my tribulations on your behalf, for they are your glory." Are you enduring tribulations preaching Christ? Remember they (tribulations) are for His glory. You will be rewarded and blessed by God.

Blessings, David
