The Excellence of Christ

 The value of any given thing is determined by the extent to which it can reveal Christ. Knowing Christ and making Him known is the emphatic focus of ministry, and by Paul’s estimate, it is what bestows value to anything else. When we see Christ as the Unsurpassed, suddenly we have a new scale of preference, a new order of priorities in our lives. The value of Christ has to reorient our entire system of worth. 

In examining the major definition of the excellence of Christ by Apostle Paul, Dr. Shawn Smith unveils the practical usage of the term in relation to how ministry and the service rendered to Christ are to be  approached, in view of His own unsurpassing value. Excellence in ministry will require that our hearts are motivated to serve in love, delighting ourselves in the Lord and practicing what we have learnt until we excel. Commit yourself today to excellence for the furtherance of the gospel and the edification of the Church of Christ.
