No boasting about human leaders

For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.

… So then, no more boasting about human leaders! All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours,  and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.

1 Corinthians 3

In Christ all has been given to us — life, death, the present and future, and many different leaders to serve us.  All this is ours because of Jesus.  He should be the focus of our lives, and be the One of whom we boast.


“All are yours — life, death, the present and future.”  We are of Christ, and Christ is of God.

This knowledge alone is sufficient for me to live with confidence and joy.   We’re all God’s workers.  The reward will come later.  So, as grandpa said, “Let’s go to work.”
