On Being A Servant
At my Bible study right now, we’re on the first missionary journey with the apostle Paul and finding that right from the get-go he faced opposition. There was opposition in Antioch, so they went to Iconium; there was opposition in Iconium, so they went to Lystra; etc., etc., etc. Opposition every step of the way. We might tend to think: really? That doesn’t make sense. Paul was serving the Lord. He gave his life for the gospel. Why would the Lord allow him to suffer opposition?It seems backwards! It seems like his way would be smooth-sailing. And as new believers, we might even think that … at least for a time.
