Primus Ergo Sum

I am first! (Just not in a good way). So says Paul in 1 Timothy 1.15. However, the cool thing that I got out of the verse is how Paul summarizes the gospel in 8 words (in Greek)—Χριστὸς Ἰησοῦς ἦλθεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἁμαρτωλοὺς σῶσαι. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. That was his mission. That was his assignment. That is what he accomplished.

Oh...and Paul was first in that he was the chief of sinners, but the Lord had mercy on him.
