Wake up from your drunken stupor, as is right, and do not go on sinning. For some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame. ( 1 Corinthians 15:34) I allow me to exain the context of this statement: no the people being referred to in this statement were not drunk. Rather, these people lived their lives doing things as stupidly as drunk people would do on a Friday night. If you thought being drunk was fun, here’s the truth: be drunk just makes the stupid things you do seem less stupid to you because you imagine it to be fun. Now, if Christ following people live like drunkards, what does that look like? Is it wrong to have alcohol, Biblically speaking? That answer is no. What it looks like when Christ following people act like drunkards is a sobriety test gone wrong. Just as somebody whose drunk cannot walk the straight line on the road, and they believe they can; the Christ follower acting like a drunkard thinks they are following in Christ’s footsteps, except those steps are not inline with Christ’s. Today is the day we all give measure to ourselves. Are we acting like drunk people in a bad sobriety test, or are we really following Christ. What is implied here, but I will explicitly say it is that anything short of following the footsteps of our savior is sin. Its why we needed a savior in the first place. The shame is that we know better, let’s stop kidding ourselves and follow Christ with a whole heart instead of fooling ourselves like we’re drunk.
