1 Corinthians 4:1-2, Stewards of the Mysteries of God
A steward is entrusted great responsibilities in ancient times. The steward is held responsible for his master’s possessions and therefore he has to periodically give an account of his stewardship. He is a holder of a commission in the service of the Gospel (1 Corinthians 4:1; Titus 1:7; 1 Peter 4:10) [The New Analytical Greek Lexicon; W. J. Perschbacher] We observe the stewardship of Joseph as a servant of Pharaoh. He served with distinction his master to fulfill God’s purpose.
Indeed, it is a blessing to be a steward of the gospel. May God help His servants to know the Master’s will and do it well. Amen.
