1 Corinthians 2:1-16, Living a Spiritual Life Shapes Our Lives
What is authentic spirituality? In what ways do we know that we have a real, vibrant relationship with God? These are the questions raised in this week’s reading. In Paul’s letter, we are reminded that God is not known by the usual means that the world tries to find life and goodness, but only in Christ and Christ’s crucifixion. It is as we open to God’s Spirit that we receive God’s presence and power, and that we receive “the mind of Christ” which will inevitably lead us into lives that emulate Christ’s selfless service and sacrifice.
Clearly, for the epistle reading this week, true spirituality is seen in a living, vibrant relationship with God through Christ, and by God’s Spirit, which is then reflected and expressed through actions of compassion, justice and service in the world. If we live this kind of spirituality, it will inevitably draw others to this God we serve – and that’s a huge bonus for us! IL-WOONG.
