When He Appears
Abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink in shame at His coming.
The God Who Loves Nobidies
God displays His wisdom in the Church by calling the lowly to Himself. The message of a crucified savior seems foolish to the world. But to those who are called it is the power and wisdom of God. This turns the wisdom of the world upside down. To prevent anyone from being able to boast God calls the “nobodies” of the world to Himself so that no one may boast. He lavishes His love on these “nobodies” and radically transforms their identity in Christ so that He receives the glory. Paul calls us to remember who we were and that our salvation is all of grace from start to finish.

The Glorious Nature of the Church
God has chosen the Church to be His people in the world. He has bestowed on them a special status and made them to be a set apart people. He has done this out of His own kindness and mercy through the gospel. The Church is to glorify him through worship and tell of His goodness to the world as a result of His kindness and mercy toward them in Christ. A people who were once not a people are now the people of God because of the Cross.
