1 Corinthians 3:7 … The watering and the Growing (09/24/16)
“So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything; only God who Gives the Growth.” ~ Paul (1 Corinthians (3:7)
While Paul quite possibly did indeed believe that God personally watched over all living things — and that no growth would take place therein without His celestial attention, Jesus in all likelihood had a very different take on the matter …
For Jesus, God the Father was a non-personal, internal, Divine Essence (see John 14:20); one that provides all sentient life with moral guidance while it grows. For Jesus growth was a simple fact of living – a happening innate to being alive. And thus it was not that we grew that fascinated him, but rather how people chose to do so (or not to do so) that was important.
