True Security – 1 Cor 4:11-12
Vs 11 - Even to the writing of this letter the apostles were in five conditions. They were hungry and thirsty. They were clothed in rags, brutally treated and homeless. They had none of the basic comforts of life. No security, self worth or significance.
Vs 12 – Paul continues with his diatribe. The apostles work hard with their own hands, they neither wanted to be a burden or problem to the church. When they are curse, they blessed as Jesus instructed in the Sermon of the Mount. When they are persecuted, they endure it. Persecution is a reality, as a Christian you can either be bitter or better. You can either fail, win, fall under it or endure it. You will either win or lose on two things, a decision to trust God and the endurance to see it through. Make Jesus your security.
