Sisters and Brothers,
After celebrating all saint and all soul days, we are continuing on St. Paul's first letter to Corinthians.
In chapter 3, Paul continues to emphasize Jesus the one to follow. We, as Jesus' followers, are all equal, regardless what we do. As Paul said, Paul planted and Apollos watered. Neither the one who plants nor the one waters is anything. They are ministers like God's co-workers. No one is greater, neither inferior, to one another. Only God causes the growth.
Paul also explains our relationship to God. For we are the temple of God and the spirit of God dwells in us. This explains if we destroy God's temple, God will destroy us. Obviously, we will need to take care this God's temple and allow the spirit to be with us.
Let us empty ourselves and let the Holy Spirit dwells in us. So we will follow the foot step of Jesus and be an imitator of St. Paul.
in Christ,
Dan
