Pauline Epistles (37)
  1. All will see His coming. All will see you in your appearance with Him. Until then, hear Him: Christ is dead and risen. Hear Him about you too: You are dead, and you too are risen in Him.
  2. He chooses to become least, to go down, to become nothing, to empty Himself, to humble Himself, to become obedient even to the point of death, the death of a cross. That is the mind of Christ.
  3. Location determines reality, and when you are in Christ, you do not have less condemnation, or delayed condemnation. You just have none.
  4. Resurrection is breaking into darkness. The darkness has not comprehended it, cannot overcome, and cannot hold it back.
  5. The right sermon will connect our present suffering with Christ’s historic suffering as the perfect entree for delivering His work on our behalf.
  6. Faith, the reliance of your hearers in utter dependence on the promise delivered to them by the promise of Christ, is, indeed, a worthy goal of your preaching. But faith is never created by talking about faith!
  7. Where Sin’s presence corrodes, Christ’s heals. Where Sin multiplies death, Christ overflows with life.
  8. Christ crucified changes everything for the world which is now under judgment for not recognizing God’s son.
  9. This is the heart of Christian theology: The Gospel is the word of the cross, and the word of the cross is the Gospel.
  10. There is good news here for your hearer, good news of belonging.
  11. The brief introduction to the letter stands in marked contrast to the spanking the saints of Corinth will get through the balance of the letter.
  12. As you look to the water of your own baptism, consider not that the water is wet, but, rather, that it is rich with the Word and promise of God for one reason only: Because Jesus is in that water.
