Who is the leader of the whole concept of Christianity, the body of Christ?
Paul is the leader of this whole concept of Christianity, the body of Christ. In the context, he sent Timothy as his beloved spiritual son to remind the Corinthians of Paul’s ways in Christ, which he taught everywhere in every church.
Les explains that Paul is the leader of this whole concept of Christianity now, the body of Christ. Paul sent Timothy, his beloved son spiritually, not physically, and faithful in the Lord, to bring the Corinthians into remembrance of Paul’s ways which are in Christ. Even Timothy would constantly remind them of what Paul had done on their behalf in bringing them the knowledge of the crucified and risen Christ. Paul taught these ways everywhere in every church. The Corinthians had the apostle himself as their spiritual father and Timothy as his spiritual son, yet they still had problems, much like Israel in the Old Testament failed despite having much going for them.
For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
