(Lesson 456)(11-14-12) 1 Corinthians 4:5-7, "Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?"
This is another powerful lesson that takes very few words to teach. Paul, again, tells us not to judge the actions of anyone outside the faithful. He says that when the Lord comes, He will judge all for the intent and purpose of the things others have chosen to teach, and observe.
Paul makes it very clear that God has chosen no one person to take power, or precedence over the other. We stand alone as individuals, one on one with Jesus Christ. Every good thing comes as a gift from God and therefore, no individual may boast the he/she alone created it.~
