I Corinthians 1:12,13 Now this I say, that every one of
you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is
Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of
Paul? Paul is being very clear about the unity that is needed in the church in
Corinth. It seems that the church had several little groups that stuck to
themselves and looked down their noses at the other groups. And that’s too bad
in a church. Paul reminded them that Jesus Christ was not divided. If you are
followers of Jesus, you get along with each other. If you fuss and fight, you
are not really a follower of Jesus. It’s just that simple. Paul asked if he
died for their sins. Of course the answer was, No. Well then, did Peter die for
their sins? And again, the answer was, No. So may be Apollos died for their
sins. Once again, the answer was, No. Only Jesus died for their sins and we all
follow Jesus. All of us. So if Jesus isn’t divided, we shouldn’t be divided.
Pretty simple, isn’t it?! Let’s all just work together as best as we can.
