Second Corinthians

 

Second Corinthians

The problems in the Corinthian church grew worse and Paul had to visit Corinth to confront the troublemakers.

Second Corinthians was written when the Apostle Paul learned that some fast talking false teachers had infiltrated the struggling church and had stirred the congregation against him. Titus was sent to dispute these allegations. Some changed their minds, others continued to challenge Paul’s authority, security and ministry. Paul’s next attempt was to counter the attacks of his critics through this letter.

This is a glimpse into the heart of a man who was fully devoted to serving God and others. His focus is on ministry, eternal rewards, reconciliation, holy living, true generosity, and perseverance.

Paul outlines the price he paid for service to Christ and the gospel. He reminded the Corinthians and us today that the physical body is only temporary. When we leave this body, we step into a wondrous permanent body, designed to last forever.

It is encouraging to remember that God’s people aim is to point fellow travelers to the Way and to be “well pleasing to Him.”
