DAILY READINGS: Leviticus 8; Psalm 108; Mark 1:1-20
We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are
weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.
1 Corinthians 4:10
The Corinthian believers treated Paul as a fool to speak the way he
did regarding spiritual wisdom and to suff er the way he did for
Christ’s sake. Just as they would tolerate fools, Paul asked them to
tolerate him and listen to him that he might be a true spiritual father
to them. He even asked them to emulate him. The world calls today
April Fool’s day. Are you prepared to be Christ’s fool every day, and
speak up for him? —K. C. Ung
To the hardest of places He calls me to go, never thinking of comfort or ease;
The world may name me a dreamer, a fool; tis enough if the Master I please.
—Albert B. Simpson
