Paul begins his gentle encouragement by highlighting the biggest fundamental problem the Corinthian church faces, that is division. Quarreling has erupted and people are picking sides and identifying themselves with the teacher of their choice. Division may appear on the surface as a personality or theological difference but in fact division is a relational conflict between Christians arising from sinful attitudes in one or both parties. Paul addresses this issue by bringing the focus back to Jesus. Follow the King not His messengers.Sunday, 16 Jan 2011
