In this bible talk from 1 Corinthians by Steve Cree we resume our journey through 1 Corinthians, having concluded our “Bible in 3 talks” overview. That overview took us to Christ’s death on the cross as the great centrepiece of the Bible story of redemption, reversing the curse on this fallen creation and making possible the hope of new creation by his blood washing away the sin of all who trust in him.
The chapters we now come to by no means leave that theme behind! In 1 Cor 5:7 Paul reminds the Corinthians that “Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed”. He will speak in 1 Cor 6:20 of us being “bought at a price”. So, our redemption in Christ means not only future hope but present change as we turn from the sin he paid for. The challenges here are great, not least in this chapter which busts many of the myths Christians tend to want to live by, treating too lightly the blood of Christ.
