I Corinthians 1:15
1/27/2026
...so that no one can say that you were baptized into my name.
One of the things troubling the church in Corinth is loyalty to one teacher rather than another, with believers forming themselves into parties. Paul is actually glad that he did not personally baptize more individuals, so that any tendency toward making number of people baptized a selling-point for a particular teacher. Paul is concerned that baptism as an institution maintain the focus not on the preacher, but on Jesus Himself. If the focus of a church remains on Christ, the distracting power of preachers is diminished. Tozer affirmed that a hundred pianos tuned to the same tuning fork would also be in tune with one another. Paul’s hope is to bring about something like this. Unite our congregation, Lord. Send Your Holy Spirit to reveal to each one of us the glory of Jesus.
