Thoughts from the Lectionary: The Eleventh Sunday after Trinity

From the Epistle Lesson: 1 Corinthians 15:1-11

Vs. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

Paul here lays out once again the basics of the Gospel of Christ to the people of the Church at Corinth. He speaks of his complete and total reliance upon the grace and power of God for everything he does. In verse 3 noted above, we can see something of particular significance. The Apostle mentions that Christ died for us ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES. The Holy Writ speaks of Christ from its beginning to its end. Christ’s mission was, from eternity, always God’s divine plan and was set down and revealed to us in the Scriptures even before Christ’s blessed incarnation when He came to walk among us.

What a comfort for us, God’s children, to know that there are no “plan Bs” with God.

Blessings,
