—1 Corinthinas 3:1-7
by: Margaret Taylor.
Paul's admonition to the Corinthians points out their lack of love and spiritual maturity that was evident in their behavior. The focus of their faith and hope seems to be in men (Paul and Apollos) rather than in the Lord. It resulted in a lack of endurance, patience and understanding, so they quarreled and divided into opinionated cliques. Paul says they were acting like spoiled babies wanting everything their own way. It is Christ (or Love) who believes, hopes, and endures, and we are to have the mind of Christ. Ask yourself, "How do my actions measure up?"
