Creating your legacy

Acts 20:17 - 24

As Paul leaves Asia on his way to Jerusalem and into the unknown, he takes time to say a final farewell to the Elders of the church in Ephesus.  During his speech he reminds them of the life that he has lived among them.  We are reminded that as we live our lives that we are creating our legacy.  As inevitable as death and taxes, so too is our legacy, the question though is what type of legacy do we want to leave.

Paul's legacy is one of an alive and growing faith in Jesus Christ.  One in which he served God where he was called, and one in which he proclaimed Jesus Christ and brought others into a living relationship with Jesus.

How are you creating a legacy for yourself?  We can live our lives now in a way that frames the legacy that we will leave and have an impact on people for years to come, even into eternity.
