Gospel Reading Plan: John 13-15
Paul’s First Letter to
the Corinthians: DAY 4
READ 1 Corinthians
2:6-16
In your journal, write
down the things that stick out to you from today’s Bible reading. Respond to
what God shows you as you feel led.
In this passage, Paul gives the readers a little peek of
what is behind the veil of this life. The “secret and hidden wisdom of God” (v
7) Paul speaks of includes God’s plan from the creation of the world to the
future hope of eternal life, all of which is centred around and made possible
by Jesus’ work on the cross. And this, Paul says, is for OUR glory! Why?
Because through the wisdom of God we are offered eternal life! Verse 9 is the
peek behind the curtain, the glimpse of a promise of heaven. What glorious
anticipation of heaven comes when we read this verse in context!
PRAYER AND MEDITATION
1. Why do you think Paul chose to share
this with the Corinthian church? How would it have helped them in their
divisive struggles with jealousy and comparison?
2. Take time today to just think on who
God is. What does this passage reveal to you about His character and His ways? Worship
Him for what He shows you by writing out a prayer of thanksgiving in your
journal.
3. Choose a verse that
has really struck you from the past four days that you would like to memorize
and spend time hiding that verse in your heart.
