On March 10, 2013, we reflect on 1 Corinthians 4:1-5, exploring how Christ was received and the importance of discipline in our relationship with a holy God. Paul addresses arrogance and the true power of the Kingdom of God, emphasizing that it is not merely in words but in transformative power. As we celebrate Palm Sunday, let us consider how we approach our faith and the necessity of being spiritually cleansed. Are we prepared to receive God with humility and love, or do we risk falling into arrogance?
