Christ in Corinthians
In the Epistles to the Corinthians, Christ is represented:
- As the proper object of religious homage. All believers are represented as his worshippers. (1 Cor. i. 2.)
- As the source of spiritual life. (1 Cor. i. 4-9, 30, 31.)
- As the Lord of all Christians and the Lord of glory. (1 Cor. ii. 8.)
- As creator of the universe (1 Cor. viii. 6), di hou ta panta.
- As the Jehovah of the Old Testament, who led the Israelites through the wilderness. (1 Cor. x. 1-13.)
- As the giver of spiritual gifts. (1 Cor. xii.)
- As the Lord from heaven to whom the universe (ta panta) is subject. (1 Cor. xv. 25.)
- A life-giving Spirit (pneuma zoopoioun), i.e., a Spirit having life in Himself. and a source of life to others. (1 Cor. xv. 45.)
- The proper object of supreme love, whom not to love, justly subjects the soul to eternal death. (1 Cor. xvi. 22.)
- The object of prayer (1 Cor. xvi. 23), from whom grace is to be sought.
- He gives success in preaching the gospel, causing his ministers to triumph. (2 Cor. ii. 14.)
- The vision of his glory transforms the soul into his likeness. (2 Cor. iii. 17, 18.)
- In his face is the glory of God, to which those only are blind who are lost. (2 Cor. iv. 3-6.)
- His presence, or being with Him, constitutes the believers heaven. (2 Cor. v. 1-8.)
- Before his judgment-seat all men are to be arraigned. (2 Cor. v. 10.)
- His love is the highest motive to action. (2 Cor. v. 14.)
Hodge v 1 p 512
I left work at about 4:30 and had leftovers. Kathee took the 6:10 bus and I picked her up at the Four Seasons Mall at 6:35.
Both K and I have colds. I think I am over the worst of it. Kathee is at the worst of it.
My Mother sent us a Valentine's card and it arrived today.
Glad to be home from work.
Kathee and I concluded Leviticus tonight - chapter 27.
