DAILY, WEEKEND, AND HOLIDAY INTERNET EVANGELIZE TO THE WORLD MINISTRY

Focused on the Historical Event Excerpt Paul emphasized the importance of remembrance ( 11:25–26 ), the essence of  which is personal conformity to the body and blood of Christ. This relates to  the problem in Corinth. They tended to misuse the body and avoid conformity  to Christ and the shedding of his blood on the cross. The new covenant ( 11:25 ;  Jer. 31:31–34 ;  Ezek. 36:25–28 ;  Heb. 8:6–13 ) amplifies and confirms the blessing  promises of the Abrahamic covenant ( Gen.  12:3 ). It also promises regeneration  and the forgiveness of sin through faith in Christ and his sacrificial death for  sins. The Lord’s Supper is a dramatic sermon that looks back to Christ’s death  and forward to his return. In addition to remembrance, it calls all believers to  actually participate in Christ’s death and resurrection ( 11:26 ; cf .  Matt. 26:29 ).  More Hughes, Robert B., and J.

Focused on the Historical Event 1 Corinthians 13:4–7  13:4–7 Then Paul Shows the Way of Love in the World This is a practical definition of love in the daily routine of life. Note how these descriptions relate to the Corinthians’ problems: jealousy ( 3:3 ); bragging ( 4:7 ); arrogance ( 4:6 ); seeking their own ( 10:24 ); taking wrong into account ( 6:7 ); rejoicing in unrighteousness ( 5:2 ). In the exercise of spiritual gifts, it is necessary to understand their place in relationship to God’s priorities . Christ’s new commandment ( John 13:34–35 ) is to love one another. Christ ian love is preeminent, permanent, and most noble. The spiritual gifts are subordinate to love. Hughes, Robert B., and J. Carl Laney. Tyndale Concise Bible Hughes, Robert B., and J.
