Unity and Diversity in God’s Kingdom III

We continue in Corinthians, and it is Communion Sunday, so an obvious Scripture choice is to comment on the abuses laid out 1 Corinthians 11 and note the already-formed traditions in 11:23-26. This is the oldest writing we have on the Lord’s supper. 1 Corinthians 13 has become such an oft-used wedding piece, we’d almost think that was the occasion for its writing. It was not. The Corinthians have an over-spiritualized understanding of the Christian life, so Paul urges them to remember all the spiritual gifts they might claim pale next to the gift of love. Even a quick reading of the chapter reveals that even this theology is eschatological for Paul, looking ahead to the day when love will be complete. For a Wesleyan, love is where we begin to understand the nature of God and his work in this world.
