Monday October 13 I Corinthians 12

Beginning with today’s reading, you will note three consecutive day’s Scriptures are from Paul’s letter of I Corinthians. The themes in these chapters reinforce and elaborate the I Peter reading; keep in mind that Peter and Paul traveled together many years and were the principle architects of the Christian faith, building on the foundation of Christ. In today’s text, the Apostle Paul speaks of the Church as the Body of Christ – each Christian is a vital part of that Body and has been empowered with spiritual gifts to serve others (I Peter 4: 10-11).
