Meditation
God is the True Father.
For the sake of Christ
God’s ministers are different in the sight of the world. We
are fools for Christ, but you are so wise in Christ! We are weak, but
you are strong! You are honoured, we are dishonoured! To this very
hour, we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, and we
are homeless. We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we
bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it; when
we are slandered, we answer kindly. We have become the scum of the earth, the
garbage of the world—right up to this moment (1 Cor 4:10-13).
The above consideration
that St Paul presents to us is a warning that we are servants of the Word of
God and misters of the world to bring back to Christ. It is a warning to be
ready to face the world and overcome it for the sake of the Kingdom of God. We
have no one a true father on earth. The only true Father is in heaven we love
him and work for his hounour. He takes care of us and is a faithful Father.
Do we trust that God is
the faithful Father in heaven?
