Title: We Are Workers of Christ
Looking at the text, there were people in the church in Corinth who doubted Paul's apostleship, and Paul revealed that he was an apostle, and Paul himself and other evangelists expressed themselves as “workers of Christ” and “those who were entrusted with the mystery of God.” .
And what we need from those in charge is the word loyalty.
First, all saints are servants of Christ.
Workers of Christ Jesus are the most honorable and blessed positions in the world.
You and I have become workers, not the world, but the Creator, the Savior, and the Returning Lord of Judgment.
Second, the servants of Christ are those who have been entrusted with the mystery of God.
It means a person who possesses a precious secret that makes up an important history.
The hidden secret is God's plan.
No one can know the plans of God, but He reveals them through the Word and the Holy Spirit to those who have been born again in Jesus, those who are called to be God's servants.
Loyalty is what God wants most from those entrusted with work.
In fact, if Christians are obedient and faithful, the fragrance and fruit of faith will be full.
This loyalty is so great and important that he guarantees the crown of life to those entrusted with this task.
The environment also bows before loyalty.
Loyalty in a good environment and dissatisfaction or excuses that the circumstances and circumstances are not good are not loyal.
Time bows its head in front of loyalty.
Loyalty doesn't matter how much or how little.
A loyal worker values loyalty more than success.
In this day and age, many people suffer from the disease of success.
So the small and trivial things are neglected, and attention is focused only on the big and grandiose things.
Maybe the huge success we celebrate is garbage before God.
