In the book of first Corinthians addresses many problems in the church life. The unique solution to these problems is Christ as the reality. Problems in the church life may be likened to physical illnesses that may occur when a person do not eat the proper food for a period of time. The way to solve such problems is to eat nourishing food. Christ is our rich food, problems arise when the church lacks Christ. To save the church from problems, christian need the rich experience and enjoyment of Christ. In the book of first Corinthians, Christ is presented by apostle Paul, at least eighteen items such as He is God's power, God's wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, redemption, the depths of God, passover, feast of unleavened bread, spiritual food, spiritual drink and spiritual rock etc...

Amen! Christ is the truth and the reality in our life. Without Christ, nothing is possible to us, life is meaningless and just vanity of vanities. I treasure that Christ is our food, our enjoyment, and our satisfaction. We live, because we feed on Him as our daily supply and nourishment. His Words is our food that strengthens us daily. So, it is very important for us to contact the Lord all the time. By spending more time to study His Word, the more we will depend and rely on Him, taking Him as our Head and everything in the church. By feeding on Him, we will grow in life unto maturity. Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord, Christ is the very spiritual drink, the striking of the rock is a clear, complete, and full picture of Christ's crucifixion. Through incarnation Christ came to earth as a rock. On the cross He was smitten by the authority of God's righteous law to accomplish God's redemption. His side was pierced, and living water flowed out for God's people to drink. This living water is the water is the water of life in resurrection . Therefore saints, how important it is to enjoy Christ and our enjoyment of Christ brings forth the proper church life.

Yeah, we should take Christ as our life and our person. He is the all inclusive one . He is all and in all of us. If we have Him in each of our life, there will be oneness. As the oneness is God Himself . So, we need to read His Word, spend time with Him and take Him as our everything. Giving Him the preeminence in our life

Yeah, as Christian, we should enjoy treasure the revelation of the all-inclusive Christ in 1 Corinthians. Our knowledge, experience and enjoyment toward Christ are for the building of the church. The enjoyment of the all-inclusive Christ will bring forth the proper Church and preserves us in oneness; the oneness in the enjoyment of Christ as our portion is the church life.

That's true. If we were all grounded in Christ and realized that He really is everything, so many problems would just fade away.
