Finding Comfort in a Time of Crisis

1 Corinthians 1:3-4
INTRODUCTION:
Blessed is euleto. The word means to be praise or well spoken of. It is a word of praise and adoration in the NT. The equivalent of shouting Praise the Lord! Or Glory!

A) HE WAS A MAN- God. . . . of our Lord Jesus Christ. This emphasizes the humanity of Jesus Christ. He was fully human.
Hebrews 4:15-16
