Saint Paul was unsurpassed in his example he gave of what a Christian should be. In fact, no one knew Christ better than Paul. He learned to become the very image of Jesus Christ so that is seemed to be Christ Himself speaking through Saint Paul. "It is no longer I who live: it is Christ who lives in me."
Saint Paul is a great reminder for us that if we want to be more than Christians in name, we must bear witness to it by our way of living. We must direct our thoughts, words an deeds all toward Christ. We must free ourselves from every passionate inclination and focus on Christ who is our peace. Christian perfection consists in expressing Christ in our minds, our prayers and the way we live.
Sicerely in Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
