Paul the Prisoner
Paul viewed all of his life through the lens of his God-given purpose.
There was no separation of ministry and day to day life.
Whether success or failure, Paul attributed it all to the call of God on his life.
Even at the moment Paul in a prisoner in Rome he identifies himself as a “prisoner of Christ”.
This is a common theme for Paul
God told Paul he was be a witness for Him in Rome (and he does.........in jail) (in this imprisonment he wrote Eph.
Col. Phil.
and Philemon)
Application: This ought the be the position of the all believers.
We ought to look at all of life through the lens of who God is and what He has done and what He has called for us to do.
Being a disciple of Jesus will cost us.
We try to hold on to a life that we need to let go of.......
Paul’s ministry
Ephesians 3:3–7 (CSB)
3 The mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have briefly written above.
4 By reading this you are able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ.
5 This was not made known to people in other generations as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit:
6 The Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and partners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
7 I was made a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace that was given to me by the working of his power.
Paul’s ministry was to the Gentiles.
Recap the Damascus Road experience.
mystery=hidden=strategy(plan) v. 3
Paul understands his role in God’s plan (to the Gentiles)
Jews believed that Gentiles could be saved by becoming ethic Jews by adopting their practices and culture.
Paul said salvation is by Christ alone (Ephesian church was mainly Gentile)
Paul’s Motivation
“least of the saints”
The Gospel was his motivation.
“we”
Ephesians 2:3–7 (CSB)
3 We too all previously lived among them in our fleshly desires, carrying out the inclinations of our flesh and thoughts, and we were by nature children under wrath as the others were also.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love that he had for us,
5 made us alive with Christ even though we were dead in trespasses.
You are saved by grace!
6 He also raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavens in Christ Jesus,
7 so that in the coming ages he might display the immeasurable riches of his grace through his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
The Gospel ought to be our motivation
