In our lesson today from 1 Corinthians 1:1-9, the Apostle Paul reminds the church at Corinth, and by extension, us, that we “are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the revealing our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 1:7, NRSV). Or to put it another way, God has provided us with all that we need in order to live out our calling to share the love and grace of God with everyone that we meet.
