According to Sunday’s lectionary, it seems that the Christians in Corinth had been making statements/asking awkward questions about life after death. On reading the letter Paul writes in reply, 1 Corinthians, I’m not sure I completely understand what he is saying, especially about the ‘physical’ and the ‘spiritual’. I have two takeaways, I think. One: it will be better – we won’t be dragged down by the broken bits of our humanity. Two: how could we really understand it anyway? – it has to be something in some way beyond our knowing.
It’s raining. And I probably shouldn’t have been so optimistic about the weather before J went to the Post Office.
