"For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus's sake. For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ"
2 Corinthians 4:5-6
What I love about this passage is what Paul mentions about being a bondservant. Paul was a bondservant to the people of Corinth but not only for the Corinthians but for Christ. I feel like too often we seek to be served, but our roles as ambassadors for Christ is TO BE servants to others. Are we serving others as we should? As the second part of the passage says, God placed in us a light. What are we doing with the light if we're keeping it for ourselves.
This light holds within it the knowledge of God. We are commanded to give it. Are we giving this knowledge?
