Faith Venture

Theologian/scholar N.T. Wright wrote a “magnum opus” on the Apostle Paul, Paul and the Faithfulness of God. The book contains 1,700 pages and weighs in at just over 5 lbs. It took me some time to read.

One nugget of insight stands out. I made a note and refer to it daily. Wright calls it Paul’s Shema—a truth thought one repeats daily. It’s found in 1 Corinthians 8:6. The Greek has no verbs. This is Wright’s translation. 

One God, the Father, from whom all things and we (belong) to him.

One Lord, Jesus Messiah, through whom all things and we (live) through him.

Ponder this, pray on it. There is great insight.
