"But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were
overthrown in the wilderness." ( 1 Corinthians 10 : 5 )
The apostle Paul speaks today's verse as a recipient of a new revelation. Many Christians today still think that it is God the Father who spoke and acted in the Old Testament and only Christ who speaks in the New Testament. If that is so, then Christ cannot be God! Yes, Christ was with the Father before the creation of the world. The Bible say that He is the creator of the worlds.
God, who spoke His message
through the prophets in Old Testament times, "Hath in these last days
spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom
also he made the worlds;" (Hebrews 1: 2) we
read. If we think that he was born and lived only two thousand years ago, it
means that we do not accept him as a powerful God.
It was Christ who led the
people of Israel in the land of milk and honey. "And
did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual
drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock
was Christ." (1 Corinthians 10: 3, 4) The same Christ who led the
people of Israel in the wilderness leads us today.
But those people who
consumed the meat and drink of wisdom fell into the worldly desire called lust.
So, they were destroyed. This is what today's verse says, "But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were
overthrown in the wilderness." Also says that "Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and
were destroyed of serpents." (1 Corinthians 10: 9)
Beloved, the words, “God was
not pleased with many of them” are a warning to us today. Even though we claim
to be baptized Christians, we partake of Christ's body and blood, but if we are
immersed in the lure of worldly lust, we will not have share with Christ; we
would be like the Israelites who tested Christ.
"Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not
lust after evil things, as they also lusted." (1 Corinthians 10: 6) He will work in us
when we accept Christ as the mighty Son of God and commit ourselves to Him
believing that we have been redeemed by Him.
He will bring us into the great eternal Canaan just as he led the people of Israel into worldly Canaan with his mighty hand. It is said that, “God was not pleased with most of them.” We should not join that crowd. Only then will He be pleased with us.
