11 Christian Unity Paul, Apollos and Cephas as One

Christian Unity Paul, Apollos and Cephas as One

Paul now describes himself as a “master builder.” A good master builder can exercise his or her authority by becoming a servant. In fact, that authority, when exercised through servanthood, is in a marvellous way profoundly attractive. For the destitute and dying poor of
Calcutta, Mother Teresa became a servant in the most self-emptying way on the streets of that teeming city, and people from India and from around the world were drawn to line up behind her and help her. In like manner, Paul is both “master builder” and “servant.”
