For everyone around you, of being an absolute servant of Christ, of constantly serving, seeking to serve, be petitioning, bringing the gospel in lived action.
It's the job title that skews everyone's perspective, but it's actually just a job description. There's no actual title because it's such a low position that's not even deemed worthy for a title. That's how it has to work for it to be effective. To be first, you have to be least, right? To be in the highest place of authority, administration, you have to be next to Christ.
Christ loved the world so much. He died for us. Listen, he gave up his life for us. Let me put that in perspective. It says in scripture that he gave up the ghost. He was fully alive and aware all the way to the end.
How is that humanly possible? How is it humanly possible if it said he is marred beyond any man, for him to be beaten, dragged, flogged, carried across, hung on the cross for multiple hours with the most excruciating square spikes? It's a, even the spikes were a form of torture that they put through him. How is it humanly possible for someone to survive that?
The wages of sin is death. He had to give up his life because he was sinless. They couldn't take [music] his life. Not because he was God, but because he had not sinned, right?
He was born. That's why he was born of the ghost and Mary. He wasn't born of a man. He had to be born so he could be born sinless. Then he had to live completely as a man. Then, at one point, fully empowered with the Holy Spirit. And then he had to give up his life.
So the apostolic would mean you give up your life. Make sense?
