2 Timothy 1:10-11. But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
How Paul gloried in this triple divine appointment! He commenced this Epistle by writing, "Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God; "and here he says of the gospel, "whereunto I am appointed a preacher." I see that some tradesmen put up a notice over their shops stating that they are so-and-so "by appointment to Her Majesty," but Paul had the highest honour under heaven in being " appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles."
