Thoughts from First Corinthians
A recent impression of First Corinthians lingers in my mind. Paul’s attestation to the Lord Jesus Christ is prevalent throughout the letter. In all the chapters, ironically with the exception of only chapter thirteen, Paul mentions Jesus in one form or another. This indicates to me the high view of Jesus of Paul’s letter. The lesson in this is that Paul is never ashamed to speak of the Lord of Glory, Jesus Christ. His relationship with the risen Lord is central to his life and thought. Thus, there must be more of Christ in my own teaching ministry (when that day comes) and even in my everyday life. The name of Jesus ought to pour from our lips rather frequently. Christ was the center of Paul’s teaching, is he the center of my own life and teaching? Christ, be the center of our lives!
