Purity of Purpose

1 Corinthians 2:2
For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

Alright, it may seem that I'm harping on a particular subject, but it needs to be addressed. Are you like Paul and focused on how you are among other believers? He DECIDED to know nothing among them except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

He didn't care about anything else. He wanted these folks to know Christ like He did. Is your passion like that? Or do you instead like to point out where other people aren't measuring up? Do you dwell on other's actions who have hurt you and say "but they are supposed to a Christian"?

How about being like Paul? Helping others to focus on Christ and loving Him like you do. You are lacking in this area? Seek someone who can help you.

Paul's goal was simple. To know nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Do you suppose this is what helped him get through all his trials?
