In this sermon on 1 Corinthians 3:21–23 titled “Ye Are Christ’s,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones discusses the greatest tragedy of all—the rejection of the gospel. Apart from this, the world would not know tragedy. The trouble with people is that they are, by nature, fools. They must not glory or trust in humanity. Dr. Lloyd-Jones teaches about the cult of personality and the fundamental lack of fitness humanity has to hold the allegiance of others. Human powers are altogether given as they are created beings. They are selfish and always changing. To glory in humanity is to be enslaved, as is glorying in the self. The listener is warned to not be deceived as no one is “a captain of [their] soul.” Instead they are encouraged to discover the wisdom of glorying in Christ. The gospel is a call to glory in Christ alone. Christ voluntarily takes a place of subordination and humiliation to work out God’s great plan of redemption. Christ wasn’t mastered by life; He conquered death. The world should be viewed in a different way—see it as a work of God’s hands.
