Wait for It: The Early Church and Us 2/8

Like siblings, like a wetnurse/mother, like a father, like orphans. Paul packs this chapter with familial metaphors to describe the closeness and affection he feels for the church, and they for each other. He emphasizes the necessity of holding each other close while we wait for God to act on our behalf. But he also acknowledges the pain of separation, attributing it to “Satan” because it is a powerful adversary to the faith, hope, and love of chapter 1.
