Courage in the shadows

When the apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians, he had many issues to address. But the most important topic was the message of Jesus. Paul wrote, “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received” (1 Cor. 15:3). In essence, Paul was saying, “If you miss everything else I’ve written in this letter, don’t miss this. This is of primary importance.” Paul then went on to explain the key points of the Gospel.
