The Apostle Paul is dealing with a church in Corinth with lots of problems. One of the worst problems is a man in the church is openly sleeping with his father’s wife! Paul, chastising the church for letting this continue, drops in this beautiful line that has been used in communion liturgies in the church for centuries, “For Christ, our Passover Lamb has been sacrificed. Therefore, let us keep the Feast!” This means that Christ was not only sacrificed in order to save us from past sins or current wickedness, but also to make us holy. To make us more like Jesus, living in “sincerity and truth.”
