Titu .in km min iiiiii iiiinlinnininlinnininvimuiiiiiiiiisiimin hiiiiiiiiii HimininminminiiiiiiinminiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiü Christ the Head— of man (1 Cor. 11: 3 );. of the church (Eph. 5 :2 3 ); of prim cipalities (Col. 2 :1 0 ). All public gifts must be such th a t others present can understand and join in w ith th e “Amen.” Here is a h in t con cerning prayer in th e congregation.
Purpose of heresies-—1 Cor. 11:19. In th e Lord's Supper: .-Remember Christ (1 Cor. 11 :25 ). Proclaim Christ (v. 26). Anticipate Christ (v. 26). Every tim e we come to the commun ion table a con trast is drawn between th e sin of the tra ito r and th e invinci ble love of the Saviour (1 Cor. 11 :23 ). In 1 Cor. 11:29 th e word “ damna tion” should read “ condemnation.” Un worthily partak ing of the emblems brings present chastisement as shown in v. 32. In view of 1 Cor. 12:26, is it possible th a t any member of the Body of Christ could be left on ea rth to undergo the G reat T ribulation which will follow Christ’s coming for His church? In 1 Cor. 13:7 th e word tran slated “ b eareth” is literally “ covereth.” It is the same word used in Mk. 2:4. Love does not uncover th e fau lts of others. True Christian agnosticism is defined in 1 Cor. 13:9. 1 Cor. 13:13: F aith looks up. Hope looks on. Love looks about. F aith and hope have th e ir day bu t love has eter nity. Stand fast in faith (1 Cor. 16 :13 ). Abound in hope (Rom. 1 5 :13 ). Be p er fect in love (1 Jn. 4:17-18). The aim of spiritual gifts— 1 Cor. 14: 12. Any gift th a t does not edify is not of God. Note 1 Cor. 14:15: “ I will sing w ith the understanding.” Lying to God and bearing false w itness before men, is not made less sinful by putting a tun e to the words. The words of 1 Cor. 14:16 are timely.
Note th a t the g ift of tongues is not adapted for public use (1 Cor. 14 :19 ). Dead for sm— the Saviour (1 Cor. 15 :3 ). Dead in sin— th e sinner (Eph. 2 :1 ). Dead to sin— the believer (Rom. 6 : 2 ) . Salvation in possession (1 Cor. 15 :2 ). In progress (Rom. 5 :1 0 ). In prospect (Rom. 1 3 :i l ). 1 Cor. 15:20 opens th e door wide for all th e m iracles of Christ. P aul in A. D. 59— “ least of th e apos tle s” (1. Cor. 1 5 :9 ). A. D. 6 4H fle ss th an th e least” (Eph. 3 :8 ). A. D. 65— “ chief of sinners” (1 Tim. 1 :1 5 ). At the end of his life— “no thing” (2 Cor. 12 : 11 ). Christ’s resurrection denied (Acts 23:8; Lk. 2 0 :2 7 );. questioned (1 Cor. 1 5 :1 2 ); explained away (2 Tim. 2 :1 8 ). Christ’s resurrection credible (Mk. 12:26; Acts 2 6 :8 ); reasonable (Jn. 13: 24; 1 Cor. 15 :35 -44 ); ta u g h t by Jesus (Lk. 14:14; Jn. 5 :2 8 ); preached by the apostles (Acts 4 :2 ; 17:18; 1 Cor. 1 5 :1 2 ); fundam ental to the Gospel (1 Cor. 15: *13-17). r Types of the resurrection in the Old Testament: (1) Isaac (Heb. 1 1 :1 9 ); (2) Joseph (Gen. 4 1 :4 3 ); (3) Moses (Ex. 2 :1 0 ); (4) Jonah (Mt. 1 2 :4 0 ); (5) Daniel (Dan. 6 :2 3 ). The believer’s resurrection body: No more to die (T Cor. 1 5 :42 ), No more despised (v. 43). No more weakness (v. 43). No more lim itations (v. 44). Cf. Lk. 24:39 and 1 Cor. 15:50. Flesh and bone are not inconsistent w ith the laws of the resurrection body. See Jn. 20:24-28. A $350.00 SCHOLARSHIP!
