The Ox Christian


“But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” 1 Cor 15:10

An ox is characterized by tenacity and hard work. It does not give up and it puts in all its strength to complete a task. An ox is willing to bear the burden, to do the work, and even to sacrifice himself. An Ox Christian is reliable, bears others burden, does not give up the faith and labors more abundantly.

“Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2
“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.” Mathew 9:35

In our text today, Paul said he labored more abundantly by the grace of God that was with him. Christians are encouraged to bear one another’s burden so that the law of Christ can be fulfilled. Jesus went about doing good, teaching, preaching and healing the sick. Beloved, by the grace that you have received you cannot afford to be a lazy Christian. God wants you to reliable, dependable and tenacious in faith.

May the grace be at work in you to complete the task given to you by God and to be consistent in faith in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God use me to accomplish your purpose on earth in Jesus name.
