1 Corinthians 16:2
_ _ first day of ... week — already kept sacred by Christians as the day of the Lord’s resurrection, the beginning day both of the physical and of the new spiritual creations: it gradually superseded the Jewish sabbath on the seventh day (Psalms 118:22-24; John 20:19, John 20:26; Acts 20:7; Revelation 1:10). So the beginning of the year was changed from autumn to spring when Israel was brought out of Egypt. Three annual feasts, all typical of Christian truths, were directed to be kept on the first day of the week: the feast of the wave offering of the first sheaf, answering to the Lord’s resurrection; Pentecost, or the feast of weeks, typical of the fruits of the resurrection in the Christian Church (Leviticus 23:11, Leviticus 23:15, Leviticus 23:16, Leviticus 23:36); the feast of tabernacles at harvest, typical of the ingathering of the full number of the elect from one end of heaven to the other. Easter was directed to be kept as a holy sabbath (Exodus 12:16). The Christian Sabbath commemorates the respective works of the Three Persons of the Triune God — creation, redemption (the resurrection), and sanctification (on Pentecost the Holy Ghost being poured out). Jesus came to fulfil the Spirit of the Law, not to cancel it, or to lower its standard. The primary object of the sabbath is holiness, not merely rest: “Remember that thou keep holy the sabbath day.” Compare Genesis 2:3, “God blessed and sanctified it, because ... in it He had rested,” etc. The word “Remember” implies that it was in existence before the giving of the law from Sinai, and refers to its institution in Paradise (compare Exodus 16:22, Exodus 16:23, Exodus 16:26, Exodus 16:30). “Six days shalt thou labor”: the spirit of the command is fulfilled whether the six days’ labor be on the last six days or on the first. A perpetual sabbath would doubtless be the highest Christian ideal; but living in a world of business where the Christian ideal is not yet realized, if a law of definite times was necessary in Paradise, it is still more so now.
_ _ every one of yon — even those in limited circumstances.
_ _ lay by him — though there be not a weekly public collection, each is privately to set apart a definite proportion of his weekly income for the Lord’s cause and charity.
_ _ in store — abundantly: the earnest of a better store laid up for the giver (1 Timothy 6:19).
_ _ as God hath prospered him — literally, “whatsoever he may be prospered in,” or “may by prosperity have acquired” [Alford], (Matthew 25:15-29; 2 Corinthians 8:12).
_ _ that there be no gatherings when I come — that they may not then have to be made, when your and my time ought to be employed m more directly spiritual things. When men give once for all, not so much is given. But when each lays by something every Lord’s day, more is collected than one would have given at once [Bengel]. |
1 Corinthians 16:2
Let every one — Not the rich only: let him also that hath little, gladly give of that little. According as he hath been prospered — Increasing his alms as God increases his substance. According to this lowest rule of Christian prudence, if a man when he has or gains one pound give a tenth to God, when he has or gains an hundred he will give the tenth of this also. And yet I show unto you a more excellent way. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Stint yourself to no proportion at all. But lend to God all you can. |
