Stewards of God’s Mysteries

“Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” 
(I Corinthians 4:1-2)

Usually “stewardship messages” are delivered when the church is facing a financial crunch. But these two verses have very little to do with money. Paul saw himself as a minister of Christ and a steward of the mysteries of God.

Every generation of Christians is given the responsibility of stewardship over the mysteries of God. We are ministers of Christ. We are to be faithful in our stewardship over the Gospel. Who will deliver the Gospel message to this generation of lost people if this generation of Christians does not?

When the Lord gave the Great Commission the assignment was to every Christian living in every generation. Let us be faithful.
