April 2020 Reflections

April 30, 2020 by Krisan Marotta

April Reflections | WednesdayintheWord.com

Paul’s discussion of the resurrection in 1Corinthians 15 is powerful!  Somehow I never seriously studied this chapter before and I can’t believe how profound Paul’s argument is. 

One positive about the shutdown/quarantine:  I have a lot more time to study. I will finish 1Corinthians by the end of May 2020.  What shall we study next?   Please contact me if there’s a topic or book you’d particularly like to study.  Thanks for listening!

40 1Corinthians 13:1-13 The supremacy of love

Before he explains what he means by the greatest gifts, Paul interrupts his argument to explain something more important than all of the individual gifts: love.

41 1Corinthians 14:1-25 The greater gifts

Paul argues that prophesy is a better than tongues because prophesy edifies the larger body while speaking in tongues edifies only the speaker. Implicit in his argument is that we should value truth over emotion.

42 1Corinthians 14:26-40 Order in the Church

Paul gives the Corinthians a rule for deciding when to speak in their public gatherings: If your speech does not edify the group, keep silent. If your speech does edify the group, take turns in an orderly fashion.

43 1Corinthians 15:1-19 The importance of Christ’s resurrection

Paul starts correcting the Corinthians view that there is no resurrection from the dead by making two points: 1) Jesus, the man, was resurrected and 2) if Jesus wasn’t resurrected, then his death accomplished nothing and we are still guilty before God.

44 1Corinthians 15:20-28 The goal of history

In correcting the Corinthians’ view that there is no resurrection, Paul argues that resurrection is an essential part of the way God intends to solve the problem of sin and death.
