The Apologetic of Significance

Fellow Labourers-

My observations concur with the writer of this article. There is an all out search for significance. This to me in of it itself is not necessarily a bad thing, but what of our motives? Is this an attempt to say I am out of your league? I went into an upscale community recently to visit with someone whose neighbour was not quite the type he would like, but he said something interesting to me." Isn't it funny that my neighbour and I are up here coming from down there and we refer to him as them people." Sometimes our significance is in our home and where it is located, so we want to guard it as best we can. When things and place define our significance we are up for many disappointments.

Our search should be for significance in Christ. Let us listen to the apostle Paul. "But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea, doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the Excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ. And be found in him not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him,and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead." Philippians 3:7-11.
