“Measure” = “Metron”
“For by the grace given to me I say”
Typically an easy answer ( - though whom we have received grace and apostleship…)
Amount given vs standard by which to measure ourselves.
(quantity or instrument)
( supports this).
(Read )
Matthew 17:20
Amount given or Measure?
Measure!
[Is there a recognition of grace here?
how does faith relate?
Paul calls himself the chief of all sinners.
Grace [Unmerited favor] given to me.
Paul makes a claim to the Grace given him.
He uses his Grace as the authority and support for what he’s about to say next.
So to me that seems significant.
What specifically is the Grace given Paul?
Typically an easy answer ( - though whom we have received grace and apostleship…)
Paul’s appeal in 12:1 for us to live as living sacrifices is based on the mercies of God.
How does God have mercy on us?
By his Grace.
--------------
Specifically, Paul speaks of God’s Mercy and Grace given him in his writing to Timothy:
Paul says that his life is to be an example to us.
(Paul’s sober judgement, possibly)
[unbelief/no faith] vs. [belief/faith]
Where sin increased, grace increased more.
(ROM5:20)
[example of.... grace!]
Paul’s assessment of himself is clear throughout his writing.
He deserved the wrath of God.
Instead, God showed him Mercy.
Jesus came to save sinners.
BUT, Paul received mercy for another reason as well… he was called to be an apostle; the Apostle of Grace.
what was the grace given Paul?
turns out he answers this for us:
KJV
1) [DISPLAY] his [PATIENCE/LONGSUFFERING]
2) To Paul, [FIRST] as a [PATTERN] — outline or sketch.
A Prototype.
(In me first!) Apostle of Grace / Apostle of Faith.
Consider .
relate to 12:3
1 Tim 1:16
Pattern concerning Christ’s patience with us (and his longsuffering); not desiring that any should perish (according to John).
(Being a follower of Christ does not make you better than others.)
Paul, in fact, specifically calls himself the least of the Apostles in .
Because he persecuted the Church.
He deserved God’s wrath.
[Pattern]
B:
Paul explains his work in another way to the Corinthians that sheds light on our verse:
Let each one take care how he builds upon it.
He seems here in writing to the corinthians to be concerned with our building on the foundation he laid in proclaiming the Gospel of Grace.
The master builder lays the foundation, the Corinthians and we build upon it.
Admonishment to follow his pattern with care.
Corollary is that its easy to be careless.
[Architect change orders.
(put a pool over here.)]
Simply follow the plan!
1 Cor
1 Cor 3:
Here is , Paul lays out the renewed mind.
Here is what a renewed mind looks like:
Thinks with sober judgement about ourselves, especially in our relationship to others.
And on and on...
