Paul begins his greeting to the Ephesians with his name and his calling by God to be an apostle. Paul did not choose to be an apostle on his own, but he was called by the will of God to do so. None of us are called to be apostles, but we have all been called by God for His purposes. Some of us are called to be pastors and to shepherd the people. Others have been called to teach in Sunday School or other classes. Some have been called to use their gifts and talents such as singing or playing an instrument. The list goes on and on. We are all called to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ in some way, shape, or form. How are you sharing the Gospel with what God has given you? Even if you are not called to be a pastor, how can God use you in your own occupation and in the church?
