Is
Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you or were you baptized in the name of
Paul?
From
this verse we can clearly see relationship between men of God given the grace
to plant churches and those churches, the necessities of correcting rifts and
anomalies when they ensue.
Background points to
note:
1. Paul
was the inspired author of this epistle vs 1.
2.
The letter is named after the church that
is in the city of Corinth vs 2.
3.
Paul by grace founded the church during
his second missionary journey (eighteen months journey) Acts 18:1-18.
4.
He wrote the letter to sincerely and
selflessly correct some anomalies, rancours amongst other issues that was
prevalent in the church then, starting out in verse 10.
5. Jesus’
kingship, ownership and ruler ship wasn’t of His church wasn’t feigned or ambiguous
in intent, and action.
Lesson from the verse.
(a) There
is no division in Christ even as Christ and His father are one John 10:30 says
I am my father are one, all agents and attitudes of divisions have no place in Christ.
We must ALL be agents of peace. Heb 12:14 which says follow peace with all men
and holiness without which no man shall see God.
(b)
No human (founder) died for any church
hence he/she or they should NEVER be revered above Christ vs 31.
(c) The
church universal (the body of Christ) must also be kept as one not only must
each church be in reverential unity.
