<p>1:19 <i>For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yes and no; but in him is yes- </i>The preaching of Paul meant that the person of the Lord Jesus was preached amongst the Corinthians. The message was not only Christ-centred, but the preachers were themselves the manifestation of the Christ they preached. We are &ldquo;in Christ&rdquo; to the extent that we <i>are</i> Christ to this world. In this sense He has in this world no arms or legs or face than us. &ldquo;The Son of God, Jesus Christ, was preached among you through us, even through me and Silvanus&rdquo; (2 Cor. 1:19 RVmg.). Paul was a placarding of Christ crucified before the Galatians (Gal. 3:1 Gk.); to the Corinthians he was &ldquo;the face of Christ&rdquo; (2 Cor. 2:10 RSV). Just as the Lord Jesus is always &quot;yes&quot; with regard to the salvation of others, so was Paul because he was in Him; and so should we be.</p>
