Rev. John Shank, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Edwardsville, Illinois, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study 1 Corinthians 6.
“To have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather suffer wrong?” What we have in the body of Christ is more important than our own rights, wealth, or property—what a different perspective Paul gives in chapter 6! But it’s the consequence of seeing our fellow Christians as extensions of our own body. How can the body be made whole if it comes at the expense of one of its own members? Similarly sexual immorality is not a “private” matter, because in Christ all our bodies are interconnected, each participating and affected together. This law stings at times, but thanks be to God that we also share in Christ’s body, now raised and ascended.
