This week and next week, as we look at 1 Corinthians 9, Paul, in caring for the church family in Corinth, withheld certain rights as their spiritual caregiver. This week we will look at what those rights were that Paul had. And next week we will look at how and why he chose to withhold…
What does the resurrection mean for us? It gives us the assurance that just as he fulfilled his promise to rise from the dead, He will also fulfill His promise to return to take us with Him to where we one day will be: with Him in Heaven.
Jesus’ love for us compelled him to let go of Heaven to be like us, to walk where we walk. But He didn’t just stop at where we are, in taking on himself humanity: Jesus chose to humble himself even lower to take on himself something that we couldn’t take on in our own strength.
The Bible shows us different ways that we can love others. It also reminds us that those are the very ways that we are loved by Jesus. One of these ways is in how we put others before ourselves because that is exactly what Jesus did for us.
