In 1 Corinthians 7, Paul reminds us that life is full of transitions from one state to another, for example, from unmarried to married to widowed to remarried. Therefore, we need to hold everything lightly, knowing that only one thing remains.
We need to look again at the familiar story of Jesus’ birth to see the many connections with past promises and their coming fulfillment.
Children should obey their parents in the Lord while their parents nurture them in the education and correction of the Lord.
The same joy that the first disciples experienced upon seeing Jesus again is available to us.
