In his message to the elders at Ephesus, Paul describes his ministry in this way – “I
did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and
teaching you in public and from house to house, testifying to both Jews
and to Greeks of repentance to God and of faith in our Lord Jesus
Christ” (Acts 20:20-21). As he speaks of this Christ-centred
ministry, Paul makes it clear that he does not carry out this ministry
in his own strength. He speaks of the next step in his missionary
journey – “now … I am going to Jerusalem, bound in the Spirit” (Acts
20:22). We learn from Paul that the Holy Spirit is leading us on to
greater things – in the service of Christ. Paul was not content with
what he had achieved in the service of Christ. led by the Holy Spirit,
Paul was moving on to greater things. This is the way the Holy Spirit is
leading us today. We must not rest content. We must go on.
