Welcome everyone! Today we are reading I Corinthians! Paul's letter
starts with some basic introductions. Hey! Paul here. What up,
Romans? As it turns out, Paul's never been to Rome, but he wants to
go. Really, really badly. He's sending this letter ahead of him as
a way of introducing himself… and of sharing lots (and we mean
lots) of theological goodies. Paul's big concern is Jesus. He died
so we could live the good life with God. All we have to do is
believe in him and all our dreams will come true. It's only been
twenty years since Jesus died, and not everyone is faithing it up
quite yet. Come on, guys. Get with the program. Paul is especially
worried about the Jewish people. See, Paul's a Jew himself, and he
believes that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah and the continuation of
all Jewish life and thought. But not every single Jew accepts this.
Paul spends this entire letter struggling with the idea that
non-believing Jews can't possibly be on God's good side. But he
also can't quite shake the feeling that since they're God's chosen
peeps, the Big Guy is gonna do something for them. Paul sure has
his fingers crossed. There is a silver lining to all this
non-believing, though. Because the Jewish people aren't all cool
with Jesus, God has moved onto recruiting the Gentiles. Paul's kind
of like the apostle to the Gentiles, so he's pretty psyched about
this. The Gentile-Christians in Rome can be a little, well,
full of themselves sometimes. They don't like the Jewish-Christians
because they think that God rejected the Jews and Jewish law. No
way! Paul tells them. He wants every Christian, regardless of their
background, living in peace and harmony. Come on, guys. Can't we
all just get along? And, as always, he gives full credit for every
good thing to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Peace. Paul, out.
