WEEKLY BIBLE COMMENTARY by Wes Woodard

“1 Corinthians 10 – “Poor Players on the Winning Team”

This title describes the Nation of Israel that came out from bondage in Egypt.  It is obvious which word is stressed in verses 1-4; it is “all”.  All of the Jews leaving Egypt were baptized unto Moses (identified with him) and with the cloud, and the Sea; and drank from the same spiritual rock (a picture of the coming Savior) never-the-less, God was not pleased with how most of them lived after getting out of Egypt! This is why many of them died during the wanderings in the wilderness!

They were satisfied to be a poor performing player on the winning team!  There are satisfied to be poor performing players on the winning team!  There are Christians today just like this.

They seem not to realize that one day they will stand before the Judgment Seat of Jesus Christ and give account (answers) to their Lord for how they have lived!  How sad!
