The New Testament in 50 days – day 26

March 4, 2010 by Pastor Jerry McQuay 

Now we begin the second half of our sprint through the New Testament, with today’s Bronze reading of 1 Corinthians 2.  Here are my thoughts as I read:

  • As a pastor, the first 5 verses certainly resonate with me, because it’s such an easy trap to fall into: trying to impress people with our wisdom or eloquence or technology or whatever, instead of having all their trust in the power of God.  At CLC, we always want to be a Presence-church!
  • 1 Cor 2:9 is one of those verses that I’ve heard quoted all my life (the church of my childhood even sang a song about “Eyes not seen, ears not heard…”) – but it’s been misunderstood, as verses 10-12 so plainly show us.  Thank God for what HE has revealed to us!
  • Verse 14 is another reminder WHY we must be born-again!
  • And verse 16 is another great promise – with God’s Word & His Spirit, we have the mind of Christ!

How was your reading today?  Please share your insights below so we can ‘work the Word into our lives’ together-
