(Lesson 2043)(06-06-17) 1 Corinthians 3:8-11
"Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."
The essence of today's lesson is that every one of us who work to teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ are all, in effect, pulling the same wagon, and that we are all in this together seeking the same outcome. That ultimate desire, for every born again child of God, that every lost soul will find redemption in the amazing grace of God through faith in the perfect sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ.
In his letter to the Corinthians, in order to end the "contentions" among them, Paul's aim was that no man/woman be recognized above his/her station in the church and that ALL praise and glory was/is to be given to God for His amazing saving grace.~
