1 Corinthians 10: 17 Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all share the one loaf.
Best of Paul; worst of Paul. This verse suggests the hymn "One Bread, One Body," which I find very inspiring. Then Paul starts with the men are better than women stuff. How can he be so polarizing to me?
Well, I will stick with the positive. Paul reminds us that, as Christians, we are as one. We need to look out for each other and the church. We need to represent Christ well.
Prayer: Lord, guide me to find the inspiration in your word without becoming irate at your servant, Paul. I know that he was only a man, but so much of his writings are so inspired, and then I hit a stumbling block. Give me the wisdom to understand the writing and the writer.
Amen
Different verse in 2014, but the struggle with Paul remains.
