In yesterday’s reading we started with David’s sons, then for the descendants of King Solomon, only the kings were listed. So we jumped up to the period of the exile to Babylon.
Here is a favorite verse from today’s group of proverbs:
17 A bowl of vegetables with someone you love
is better than steak with someone you hate.
This chapter has only one instance of the words I translate as ‘joined as one with Christ’, but the chapter is all about that oneness. In that regard I have a footnote about baptism. The important thing about Paul's use of 'one baptism' is that this statement is meant to highlight our unity, not our divisions.
