1 Corinthians 3:21-23 Belonging to Christ. 23 Mar 2024
1Co 3:21 So there is to be no boasting about human beings:
everything belongs to you,
22 whether it is Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas,
the world, life or death,
the present or the future
-- all belong to you;
23 but you belong to Christ
and Christ belongs to God.

I am trying to understand what is expressed in those verses. Probably it just expresses an attitude of indifference. Each person counts as equal.
Connected to Everything
I am connected to my brothers and sisters in Christ. I am connected to the faithful in the past and in the future.
And I myself am owned by God just as the others.
Prayer
Jesus, help me to understand the community of the faithful.
