OUR FATHER WHO SAVED US AND ASSIGNED HIS SERVANTS TO SPREAD THE NEWS OF IT

1 Corinthians chapter 3 verses 4 - 5 says this;

For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings?

What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. 

This passage, written by the Apostle Paul to the Corinthians, takes issue with the practice of the Corithians of having jealousies and rivalries over which apostle they were associated with.

They had elevated the ones who taught the gospel to them and did not understand that these were only servants who pointed them to the Lord and not people to whom they should have given their allegiances to.

Paul pointedly asked them if they were not mere human beings when they engaged in this practice. 

Had they transcended mere humanity, they would have had their allegiances to Christ alone without fragmenting into contentious groupings based on which apostle had shared the gospel with them and baptized them.

Paul pointed out that it was the Lord who had assigned each apostle to his task and those who were saved were saved by Christ alone.

Amen.
