Confronted by Love

One of the best known chapters in the Bible is 1 Corinthians 13. This chapter speaks of Christian love and it has a way of popping up almost everywhere. You will hear this chapter read at weddings. You will see it on calendars, on plaques, and even on coffee cups.

But the popular use of this chapter often distracts from the real purpose of it. It was written to correct the Corinthian church for their lack of love. This chapter is often used to make people feel good but actually it was written to confront.

If we are going to cut it straight then we must understand the original intent. This chapter cuts, convicts, and humbles. It shows us what matters to God and how unloving we can be.

This chapter is a real challenge to you and me. In coming days we will work at understanding what it means.
