'I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas ”; still another, “I follow Christ.” Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, so no one can say that you were baptized in my name. (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.) For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. '

As humans, many of us tend to follow other humans who we deem as respectable and have taught us some valuable information. We may have disputes on whose viewpoints are right or wrong. However, Christ is not divided, and He was the only one who was crucified for us and died for our sin. He is the only one who can save. We are not here to promote ourselves and to be widely accepted and followed. We are here to point others to Jesus that they may follow Him and be saved. It does not matter how wise and eloquent someone’s speech is, because if it is not the Truth, it will not lead to salvation and changed lives. To Jesus be ALL the glory, honor, and power!!! Humans are simply His messengers.
