1 Corinthians 1:31 — Christianity is always contemporary, since Christians live in this world too! What differentiates the Christian? Man has mastered many things in this life, but he cannot master the lust in his own life and mind – all are failures, none are righteous. Man proclaims what he is by what he glories in. Listen to Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones as he preaches on 1 Corinthians 1:31 after the first man has gone into space. Hear about the boasting of man over the course of history. What does the Christian glory in? Christianity is not just an intellectual knowledge, it is an actual boasting in the Lord. Learn that to glory in any man is merely self-worship. There cannot be two things glorified, to glory in one is to crucify another – God and self cannot both be exalted. There is nothing special about man himself, but there is every reason to glory in Jesus Christ alone – He is not an ordinary man. The world is as it is because it is not glorying in Christ. Man comes from earth and goes to heaven, Christ was sent from heaven and came to earth. Learn of the purpose of His coming and rejoice in Christianity's message. He that glories, let him glory in the Lord!
