1 Corinthians 2.1 - Cross-Shaped Spectacles

The Corinthian church was real. The members were not stained-glass window portraits of saints on marble pedestals. One glorious day each of them walked out of horrible lives steeped in sin into full forgiveness and eternal hope. The process, long, hard, and life-long, of being fit for their eternal home was underway. So, Paul their spiritual father writes them with great concern. They need to stay on track, stand more firmly against evil – in them and in their congregation – and strive to walk in truth and love. Such strides cannot be done in their strength. They must remember that the Author of the faith is also the Finisher. They need to remember and remain near the cross.
