The Nameless Gospels

5 Jul

The Nameless Gospels…

Almost every book you read has the name of the author on it, who worked long and hard to create it. But not with the gospels. We put names on them according to whom we believe wrote them. But they didn’t put their name on them.

The fact is, the gospels are nameless. The point is whom they’re written about, not who wrote them. The point is Messiah, Yeshua, Jesus. The gospels glorify Him, communicate Him and reveal Him.

So you are called to glorify the Lord and reveal Him to the world. But to do that, you need to be like the writers of the gospels. You need to take yourself out of the picture. Take your glory out of the scene and become more selfless and anonymous.

Get into the joy of losing yourself, doing things only for God to see them. Then He will be revealed, as in the gospels. Then His glory will shine through your life as in the gospels, and your life will become a gospel, good news, everywhere. Because the gospel is nameless, except for God’s name. You be likewise.

I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever. Psalm 86:12

Today seek to be as the gospel writers. Put away all concern for recognition, and make it your aim to only lift up the Lord and His name.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
