Bible Study

     Paul explains further in this passage following yesterday's message that for those in Christ, death has no power in us. 
Bishop N.T. Wright says ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N._T._Wright ) :
     Death gets its peculiar character, its unpleasant 'sting', through sin, the dark power that entices humans to rebellion, to turn away from God the life-giver.  And sin gets its particular power, in Paul's world, from the law.  

N.T. Wright. Paul for Everyone:1 Corinthians. Louisville,KY: Westminster John Knox Press, 2004, p.227.

     Paul says, "Let nothing move you. Even death!" Do you think you are able to do that when death is closer and closer to you? 

Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage of scripture we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him, while listening to "Gabriel's Oboe":  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmax47l2hLU

Spiritual Journal

    What I heard from Jesus today is: Let nothing move you!

    What I got from Jesus today is the key for a Christian to face with difficulties, even death. 

     How is it possible that nothing move us? Impossible, right? Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas have the thought of God as the "unmoved mover" for centuries. We can apply this thought here that the only way for us to move by nothing is that we can be carried by the "unmoved mover" to face with any difficulties, even death. Paul says, "But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." (verse 57)

     Please pray for my mother as we are trying our best to help her to prepare for her unknown future, even death. She is now 87 and healthy.  



Dear Lord Jesus, 
Lead us to experience that you are the only unmoved mover and that in you nothing move us.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
