"What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants," 1 Corinthians 3:5.
They're servants. Waiters. Like, at our tables. Slaves, even. We can think back to any or of all the preachers of the gospel that we've ever known or heard of. Do we remember our favorite? Perhaps the one that first or best taught us the story of Jesus? Well. They're not anything. They're just field workers planting or watering or whatevering in the field. But they're nobody special. God is the special One. God gives growth. God. God will pay his field workers their appropriate wages. But God's treasure is the crop he himself grows. So we turn eyes away from the preachers to the One they preach about.
When we see a brother or sister today we remind each other of God's work in Christ. And together we give thanks to him for him.
