Event: Paul's Farewell to the Ephesian Elders
Acts 20 v. 20 How I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you in public and from house to house.
O – Observation
No slacking. Doing hard things. Paul not only told people how to live their lives for Christ, he did what he said. He took Jesus request to each one of us very seriously. Jesus last words to us is recorded in Matthew 28 v 19-201a, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commended you." Paul did this with great zeal. Paul did this even though it as hard. We need to remember, the same Father, the same Jesus, and the same Holy Spirit is present today. We really have no excuse, to not be reaching and teaching.
A - Application
How am I handling the hard thing of Jesus last words to us?
P - Prayer
Jesus, Help me to do hard things for you. Love Will.
