November 18 A Full Life Process

A Full Life Journey
Read Ephesians 4

Eph 4:11-13 It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12 to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

ARE YOU looking for change in your life? Take some time today to read all of Ephesians 4. I pray you will see how Jesus offers gifts to people who will help you “to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness” (Eph 4:23-24).

When Jesus returned to Heaven, he continued his ministry through the Holy Spirit. The Spirit has gifted some people to evangelize, some to pastor and some to teach. Those who have received those gifts are available to you to help you know Jesus more.
Knowing Jesus more is a life journey. As you “see” and “hear” him in the Gospels, you will see how he changes your life. From the time of Jesus’ disciples beginning their ministry to today, the Gospel has transformed lives from sadness to gladness, from despair to hope, from hate to love, from harmful habits to life-giving labors of love.
Pause for a moment, and it’s likely you’ll think of several people who can help you get to know the transforming Jesus’ more personally. Give one a call. Study the Bible with a gifted teacher.
Be on a life journey to live in the fullness of Jesus.


Pause and Consider: education is a process and so is getting to know Jesus.
