\"\"1 Corinthians (Program #27) – Stewards of the Mysteries of God<\/p>\n

When we consider the leading ministry, the most respected Christian workers of the day, what kind of image of their life do we have? \u00a0 Well, most of the well known seems to be quite successful even by worldly standards; they are honored, respected for the most part, seems well off, able to live a very comfortable life.\u00a0 But what about at the time of the New Testament?\u00a0 The leading apostle from most of that era was the apostle Paul of course he wrote the bulk of the New Testament. What kind of living did he enjoy?\u00a0 Well from his autobiographical comments found in 1 Corinthians chapter 4 we get a glimpse:<\/p>\n

“For, I think, God has set forth us the apostles last of all as doomed to death, because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men. We are fools because of Christ, but you are prudent in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are glorious, but we are dishonored. Until the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and are naked and buffeted and wander without a home; And we labor, working with our own hands. Reviled we bless; persecuted we endure; Defamed we exhort. We have become as the off-scouring of the world, the scum of all things, until now.<\/em>“<\/p>\n
