As a committed person, the Apostle Paul has his own ambition. This is clearly written is his letter to the Philippians: “Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.”

Without thinking of what he might suffer or hardship he would face, Paul has a unflinching determination to make his life a vessel to magnify Jesus. Without giving up, he stands firm in his decision in spite of dangers, pain, prison, and even his own life (2 Cor. 11:23-28).

Most of us have no idea how Jesus can be magnified through our life. We might think that it can be possible when we are tortured for keeping our faith. Actually, it’s not like that.

Our hands magnify the Lord through our letters that console others. Our feet magnify Him when we help others doing their chores. Our voices magnify Him as we testify about Him and worship Him. Our hearts magnify Him as we pray and love Christ the Redeemer. Our ears magnify Him as we listen to His Words gratefully. If we know Jesus, we can magnify Him in our daily life.

 

You are uniquely created to magnify God, as if only you can do it.
