And yet I will show you the most excellent way. 1 Corinthians 12:31
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13
I love (pun intended) how Paul has brought us to this point! He's been addressing so many of the Corinthian's ways that were based on their old ways: sexual immorality, pride and status seeking to the point it corrupted the blessings of God, spiritual gifts and the Last Supper.
Chapter 13 puts all of these human traits into their proper perspective. Kent Hughes puts this into perspective, "The Corinthian Christians had the religious thing down. They did what Christians do every week (they went to church, they prayed, sang, listened to a sermon, and even shared a meal together). But in all the coming and going, in all their churchly activity, in spite of all the sermons they had ever heard on 1 Corinthians 13, they struggled to keep love at the center of their lives." 1 Corinthians 12:31
Join me in reading 1 Corinthians 13 and be encouraged!
