Not Seeking Fame

 

Today's verse is 1 Thessalonians 2:6

Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. 

    Even as all about you seek to have their 15 minutes of fame, to be known of men, we, that is those that know Jesus Christ, ought not to seek these things, for what is of greater value than to know, yea to be known of God the Father, and his Son Jesus Christ, is this not a key evidence that our name is written in the Lamb’s book of Life, and is that not what we ought to be glorying in? Therefore, even as we have the promise of God that he will sustain us by our own labours, we ought to proclaim the Gospel freely to all that are around us, specially to those that will hear. Amen.

To God be the Glory

Scott
