No other message. ( Romans 1 v 16 )

In Romans 15 v 15- 16,Paul writes ,that by Gods grace he had been given a ministry, to non-Jews,it is Leon Morris who points out, that it speaks of a definite time,and that time would be, that of his call to be an apostle.I cannot remember a definite time but I do remember an awareness of Gods call to be a preacher. It is not something one takes on lightly, it  has an awesome responsibility to it, and indeed a dreadful accountability attached to it.( Ezekiel 3 v 18 ).Many present day ministers will bear their heads in shame, in a coming time,I hope I will not be one of them.Going back to Paul he writes in v 16,that God give him the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God.Leon Morris writes,'It is a striking way of affirming that  the proclamation of the gospel is a solemn and sacred act.'The gospel is the most important message in all the history of mankind,people write books on great historical speeches,they have their place,but they fade in the light of the gospel.We honour the great writers like William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens ,but nothing they wrote can compare to the amazing and wondrous message of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. No other message be it religious or non-religious has such a message , that sin can be forgiven ,that we sinners can be made right with God,that we can  receive  eternal life,and be saved from the wrath to come.
