The Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:20-31
Consider your own call, brothers and sisters: not many of
you were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were of
noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God
chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and
despised in the world, things that are not, to reduce to nothing things that
are, so that no one might boast in the presence of God. He is the source of
your life in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness
and sanctification and redemption, in order that, as it is written, ‘Let the
one who boasts, boast in the Lord.’
Questions for Reflection
Have you ever thought about what it would mean if we took
Paul seriously and believed that what is despised and considered foolish and
weak by the world is what God loves most?
Have you ever felt blessed by something that originally seemed to you
like evidence of your failure or a mark of shame in the eyes of the world? How did you come to change your mind?
