Dear ones, I have some “homework” to do! In Message Seven, dear brother TAS challenged those listening to his speaking to search the entire New Testament and find out exactly what Paul and the other apostles believed was the real purpose of their work for the Lord. According to the NT scriptures, what is actually revealed concerning the reason why our Lord sent out His apostles? What yearning in His heart did He long to see fulfilled through His apostles’ laboring for Him?

In previous posts, the rich, Christ-centered, flavor that permeates this message seven was mentioned several times. Dear brother TAS made Christ the reality and the focus of all things related to God: Christ IS the new dispensation of God. Christ IS the center of all that God is doing today. Our development and growth in the Christian life is simply the development of Christ in our life. The true nature of the church is just Christ; indeed, the church is Christ corporate. It's all Christ! Having seen all these points, I now desire to learn from the NT how the work of God is also completely centered on our wonderful Christ. This should be a rich study in the Word! I plan on collecting all the verses that I can find related to the true purpose of the apostles’ labors for the Lord. After collecting these verses, my desire is to spend time in the presence of our Lord to see something of what these verses reveal concerning His heart’s desire. I then plan on comparing what I have seen from the Lord with TAS’s speaking to see if I arrive at the same conclusions that TAS did.

And so, if you will excuse me, I have some “homework” to do . . .
