1Cor.4:10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.
Two opposite extremes existed in Corinthian congregation in the one body of Christ Jesus, some where honored as kings, where people delight being in the present waiting with abated breathe for their acknowledgment. While Paul the founder of this congregation suffered each day in tribulation with dishonor, just how could that be? Well, the flesh makes all kinds of excuses in theory to justify itself here, but, Paul led by Holy Spirit cut right too the chase of the matter, some one was not serving Christ Jesus.
The very truth of Christ life on earth was being made into a lie by Satan the Devil “into a blessed prosperous life”, wonder of wonders, light of lights had been transformed into 180-degrees opposite the truth of the Christ. Moreover, such a lie would be used, and was being used to persecute those in Christ Jesus as not blessed, but rather cursed for their uncompromising stand for the Christ, this was a no win situation for those living in the Christ. The only winners on earth would be those loved by the world under Satan control and darkness. Those promoting such teachings would be used and blessed with material blessing, a life of ease, if they continued to teach such falsehoods, yes, Satan would bless them, with powerful works and honor.
Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory. 4:9 He said to him, "I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me."
2 Thessalonians 2:9 even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.
But if they stood in truth, that is, the Christ and his righteousness, they would receive a fire storm of hate and persecution from every corner of Satan world, dishonored and hated, made too look foolish in all aspect of their life, as though plagued by God Himself and waiting to be put too death by Him. Nothing would be easy for them, they would endure until the end in their flesh. But they would prove by such treatment that they were owned by Christ Jesus, and were faithful slaves, not kings upon earth with authority to command life and death by a word, or make up laws like feared kings of the nations, but rather lowly slaves hated and looked down upon, but loved and cherished by God.
2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.
