Reflections

Unity

The Grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.  My love to all of you in Christ Jesus.  Amen.
 
1 Corinthians 16:23-24
 
The church at Corinth was a church in trouble.  Paul lovingly and forcefully confronted their problems and pointed them back to Christ.  He dealt with divisions and conflicts, selfishness, inconsiderate use of freedom, disorder in worship, misuse of spiritual gifts, and wrong attitudes about the resurrection.  In every church, there are enough problems to create tensions and divisions.  We should not ignore or gloss over problems in our churches or in our lives.  Instead, like Paul, we should deal with problems head on as they arise.  The lesson for us in 1 Corinthians, is that unity and love in the church are far more important than leaders and labels.
 
God Bless you,
 
J.H.
