Preached on Sunday, December 8, 2019
Paul has genuine apostolic authority and the right of being supported by the church that he served. However, he chose not to use all his rights in order that his ministry motivation might not be accused of greediness. He is living for others, seeking for receiving all the potential rewards God prepared for him. By putting God’s interest over self-interest, he is practicing the sixth blessing in the Beatitudes: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”
