As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world's interest in me has also died.
Galatians 6:14 NLT
Paul is wrapping up his letter and has just explained what these false teachers have been after - the opportunity to boast aboĆ¹t themselves & the followers that they have - wouldn't they be loving our current technology!
And Paul gives us a glimpse into his inner world, that because his focus is on Jesus, the things that seemed so important, that he strove for, he has lost interest in.
And the world that gave him such accolades in his past life, no longer cares.
And he is good with that.
Makes me wonder where I am looking for accolades?
Just as Paul was inviting the Galatian church back to focus on Jesus, the same invitation is here for us...and what becomes less important?
