Caring As Calling

Series: Ephesians

February 07, 2010 | David Crosby
Passage: Ephesians 3:1-13

The Apostle Paul was absolutely certain about his calling in life. Often he describes with great emotion his encounter with Christ on the road to Damascus and the subsequent call to carry the good news to the Gentiles. God expressed his love and care for Paul both through his conversion and through his calling.

The Jew, Paul of Tarsus, is called to care for the pagan Gentiles. He leads the new movement by reaching out to Gentiles and receiving them into the church of Jesus Christ. This care for those who are outside of the covenant of promise and without God in the world expresses the heart of God, the great spiritual mystery in the world. Gentiles are heirs together with Israel of the promises of God.
