II Corinthians 6:1-10 ~ The Proper Representation of Ministry

Excerpt:

The last thing, As having nothing, and possessing all things. This is one of the little phrases that set me free. Do you know that in Christ even though you have nothing, yet at the same time you have everything? Anything the Lord wants me to have, He will make sure I get it.

Being in Christ means that everything is at His disposal to provide for me for whatever I need. Even though I have nothing, I have everything.  Everything I need, everything God wants me to have, He is perfectly capable of giving it.

So in everything, through good times and hard times, Paul says, We present ourselves as servants of God. He was showing them what it was like to serve Christ in the midst of all the various circumstances of life: through the stress, through the pressure, through the hardships of life. What a blessing to be able to receive from Paul, who knew what it was like to walk with Christ. And made sure that he was an ambassador and a representative of Christ in all that he did and wherever he was.
