When the Scriptures declare those who are in Christ are free, what does that mean? The church of Corinth took it to include acting outside of the boundaries found in other passages. Paul brings it back to the fact that our bodies belong to God. He purchased us with His body and blood. Our freedom is from the enslavement of sin, to glorify God, and lead others to that same freedom.

In this passage from the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus addresses a very common but very serious sin. Adultery is a sin of breaking the marriage covenant. Far too often men get away with the exploitation of women through lustful acts that are hidden. The abuse of the female body in this way is an abuse of the image of God. Likewise, the body and the spirit are not separate things at all. What damages the body also damages the soul. The sin of perversion is the origin of adulterous behavior. Jesus clearly reminds the religious among us that it is not the literal obedience to God's law that matter. Literal interpretation of acts can also be corruptly interpreted for sinful ends. It is the Spirit of God's Law that changes the heart. Thoughts of the heart are the foundation of actions. Therefore, if adulterous acts occur, it is the adulterous heart that causes them.

How do you view the body? Well, that's a weird question, isn't it? In the second half of 1st Corinthians chapter six, Paul has to deal with some challenging topics, and he wants the Corinthians to know it isn't just about the surface layer of actions (sexual immorality), but really has to do with the core issue of how we view our bodies. Are they for us or are they for the Lord? As you might expect, Corinthian culture and norms are not that different from the world we are facing today in America. Views on morality have swung far away from a God-centric worldview to a hedonistic worldview: "my body is mine and I can do with it whatever I want!" The Corinthians had that same view and Paul starts this section by quoting it: "All things are permissible [lawful] for me!" but that doesn't mean all things are beneficial. As Pastor Steve deals with this difficult and challenging topic of sexual sin, our bodies, and how we are to live in a permissive culture, listen in and be challenged to think like Paul--and like Christ--that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, therefore we should "glorify God in your body."

Paul said to glorify God with our bodies, and he said not to join our bodies to a prostitute. We literally should not take another human being and turn them into an object for our visual arousal and physical pleasure. Paul was likely also referring to the prophetic idea of chasing after other gods as chasing after prostitutes. One such "god / prostitute" is that of perfection. We are constantly bombarded by airbrushed images of physical "perfection", an ideal body type that mostly doesn't exist. We are shown these images over and over so that we will pale by comparison and feel badly enough about ourselves to buy stuff to try to make ourselves look like airbrushed perfection. We also try to appear or be perfect in other aspects of our lives. All of this perfection is a lie, and a prostitute we are chasing, rather than loving our bodies for what they are and what they can do, glorifying God in our bodies: we work, we play, we go through daily life, and our bodies should be loved for allowing us to do these things. Nathaniel fell into this perfection trap when thinking of the Messiah. He wanted something of a super hero. Jesus, however, was not Captain America. He was a Jewish carpenter from Nazareth. Jesus was also "Shekhinah", the indwelling presence of God. Jesus is the connection of humanity (and of all creation) to God. Jesus connects us to God. He does not connect some idealized, non-existent, airbrushed version of us to God. He connects us to God, as we truly are. We aren't perfect. We don't have it all together. God doesn't expect us to. God didn't come among us as Captain America, but as a comparatively lame kinda guy...a regular carpenter. He connects regular our regular old selves to God, our beloved, marvelously made selves.
