START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) 1 Corinthians 1:17
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
CHRIST DID NOT SEND ME TO BAPTIZE / 1 CORINTHIANS 1:17
Paul is not saying that Jesus’ teaching about baptism was unimportant (Matthew 28:19). Instead, he is pointing out that he, like Christ (John 4:1-2) and Peter (Acts 10:47-48), had instructed his associates to perform the baptisms of believers. Paul did not want to provide an opportunity for those he had led to Christ to think in any way that they were “baptized into the name of Paul” (1 Corinthians 1:13; Acts 22:16; Romans 6:4).
