Ephesians 3:1 -- Am I a prisoner of Jesus Christ
When we are undergoing hardship, unpopularity, material loss for the sake of Christian principles we may either regard ourselves as the victims of men and circumstances, or as the champions of Christ.
Paul is our example; he regarded himself, not as the prisoner of Nero, but as the prisoner of Christ. Therefore, he is exactly where God wants him to be, and doing what God wants him to do. |
