Paul closes his magisterial letter with an overflowing heart. He ties up threads and offers explanations for why he is writing, his plans, and his needs. But more than all this he beams with a heart for Christ. This passage puts on display the multifaceted glory of making much of Christ. The wonder and beauty of Christ compels each otherwise disjointed line. Christ is worthy of every detail of our lives and pursuits. He is worthy of every heart and hand. He is worthy of more than the nations and all creation combined. Christ rightly known cannot be contained. Here is a powerful example and encouragement to make much of Christ together in the local church and unto the nations.
