1Th 1:6 “And ye became followers of us, and of
the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy
Ghost (7) So that ye were examples to all that believe”
In Paul’s letter to the church in Thessalonica he applauded
the zeal they fostered for Christ and their example to all about them. Christianity
cannot be contagious without zeal. A man knowing anything about intimacy with
Christ cannot stop speaking of it. (Rom 12:11 “Do
not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord). Paul described their zeal as being an example
by using the Greek word (tupoi) – meaning (to stamp, instrument
to make a mark with). Christ did not come to impress us, but He was the
instrument that made the impact for our eternal good.
Don’t look to make an impression, it will fade. Instead make
an impact with Christ, it’s permanent… HSAY
