A Servant

Ephesians 1:1"Paul, and apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saint which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Jesus Christ".
Paul was greatly privileged, he felt there is no greater privilege in all the world than to be a servant of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ, the son of God, the supreme Lord of the universe in all it's enormity. Paul was possessed by Jesus Christ. Paul felt the true joy of his salvation as he realized that Jesus the Son of God loved him so much that He took on human form to save him the chief of sinners.

Paul marveled in the truth that God's only begotten Son has given him the chance of knowing the true and living God in the most personal way,to know Him as his Savior and Lord. Paul knew that Christ, knew him personally, but here Paul was given the chance to know Christ personally. Imagine being able to  know the Son of God personally! No greater privilege could exist. Paul knew this and he surrendered his life completely to Christ. All he was and all he had, Paul turned it over to Christ. He was possessed and obsessed with Christ. He Lived for Christ and for Christ alone. Christ was Paul's Savior, but he was also his Lord and Master. Paul was not his own to do as he willed; he was Christ's to do only as Christ willed. This is also the call to the Church and it's believers. We have been called out and separated from this world. Consecrated for the will of the Lord. We have given ourselves to live a consecrated, holy life, all for the glory of God. So we must also surrender our all over to Christ. His will must be our will, as we live our life for His glory.

Let us worship Him with our living as we make ours a life of a living sacrifice, and praise Him with our living ,by living a hallelujah life that leads lost souls to the salvation of the Lord.
