1 Corinthians 4:1-21
Paul regards himself and all teachers of the gospel as servants of Christ. He challenges us to look at ourselves and see that we are not to be lifted up above anyone else. We are to be so humble in our teaching and in our walk, that we are to not even judge ourselves, let alone judge others. Pride can be found in all judgement. That does not mean we are found innocent no matter what we do. What Paul is saying, is only our Lord God can judge ourselves and others. 
We are to look to scripture and the Holy Spirit to discern God’s judgement upon our actions. He will bring light to all things hidden and disclose purposes of the heart. We are asked to stay true to what is written, so not to pass our own opinion or judgement on actions and ways of ourselves and others. 
Paul chides us in saying that we have ALL because of our Heavenly Father, so how could we ever boast in anything we have, because all was given. At the foundation of all talents and things, we find a generous Father who enables us to have them and cultivate them. 
Paul goes on to say that we must be careful in placing our belief and glory in the teacher, because the teacher is nothing without the Father. Teachers are meant to be a reflection of our great Creator of all. We have a Creator who is more humble than any could ever be, yet more powerful than we could ever understand. 
Each of us who are followers must be weak, so Christ strength shines from us, must be held in low worldly regard so to honor, allow ourselves to be reviled, so we can bless like Christ. Keep walking even in persecution and in slander. All of this so the glory of Christ can be revealed through us without any of us taking credit. 
Paul recognizes that the apostles are important tools of Christ and walk uniquely in His presence. He asks each of us to be imitators of him, because he imitates Christ. This way we remind others of the way of Christ. Paul concludes with, “The kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power.” Guess who is a part of of that kingdom, US, we HAVE THE POWER because of God and the authority of Jesus to be victors every day, in every season. The kind and humble always overcome, because love has overcome all.
