TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 2022 Scripture
Reading: 1 Corinthians 10:1–13
Additional Scriptures: Numbers
14:10b–24; Psalm 105:1–42
At the end of this larger argument on whether
or not it is acceptable to eat food that has been sacrificed to idols, Paul
will give a guiding principal: “do all to the glory of God” (10:32). Like their
ancestors in the faith, this predominantly Gentile Corinthian church is called
to live in a manner that is faithful to the one who is the very source of their
life and existence. Living faithfully to this God includes considering one’s
witness to others for whom Christ also died.[2] It's not about you.
O God, You willed to redeem us from all iniquity by Your Son: Deliver
us when we are tempted to regard sin without abhorrence, and let the virtue of
his passion come between us and our mortal enemy; through Jesus Christ our
Lord, who lives, and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and
ever. Amen[3]
