Paul spent himself for one purpose only–that he might win men to Jesus Christ. Paul became a sacramental personality; wherever he went, Jesus Christ helped Himself to his life.
From 2 Corinthians 12:15: “I will most gladly spend and be spent for You. If I love You more, am I to be loved less?”
Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was a Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher. Following his death from an illness while in Egypt during World War I, his wife took on the task of transcribing the detailed notes she had written from his lectures and sermons. Gertrude Hobbs Chambers’ efforts resulted in the publication in 1924 of MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST. I frequently read from this devotional, and it has greatly deepened my faith and understanding of God’s Word.
A good reminder of Paul’s purpose which should be that of pastors too
